Our equipment arrived in Barrow on Friday! We'll find out later this week when we unpack it whether we have any casualties. I must give a big thank you to Sharon at Alta Air Logistics for overseeing the shipment. When the boxes arrived in Anchorage she personally checked on their condition and oversaw the "palletizing" of everything for the flight to Barrow. She made the entire shipping process a breeze ... Sharon you are awesome!!!
Now, it's just a matter of getting US up there. We'll be leaving tomorrow from Dulles Airport ... then to Minneapolis ... then to Anchorage. We overnight in Anchorage ... then on Wednesday go from Anchorage to Fairbanks to Barrow.
Let's hope the volcano holds off until Feb 12. :)
