Today we got out for a full day of searching - we're so proud of ourselves! :) Between waiting for field party members, and then flights, to come in, plus having a spate of bad weather, it's been hard for us to get out all day. But we finally...

Today was pretty windy day. Two twin otter flights came to our camp, dropped the rest of gears we were waiting for. Two ski-doos (now we all have very own ski-doo!), more drums of fuel, more food boxes. We were actually getting low on some food items, so...

Today was another exciting day. In the morning, it was still gray here. As we expected, we got weather delay. After a couple hours of strong wind, it became completely blue sky! Then shortly after lunch, twin otter showed up! Yes, Jim and Alex finally made...
