Whew! I’ve spent the last four days traveling back from my vacation in Idaho up to Barrow and getting packed for the trip to the Ikpikpuk delta. I think I’m finally ready to go. I’ve gone over my gear list a million times. Brian and I shopped for groceries yesterday and have about three big plastic tubs full of food. I don’t think we’ll starve for the next two weeks. A nagging question hangs in the back of my mind, “Where did I put the Chocolate Caramel Riesen’s?”

We are supposed to meet the helicopter at the Search and Rescue hanger today at 1:00 pm. I feel like a kid at Christmas time. It doesn’t seem real and I won’t truly believe I’m heading out until I’m in the helicopter and flying away from Barrow.

If my equipment and my technology skills work well, I’ll be back on tomorrow with pictures of the delta!

Here I am in my backyard in Barrow practicing using the satellite phone to upload data to the website.
