I am ready to go to Alert! Finally, I was able to solve all my final challenges – e.g. a snow gauge is available at Alert and I will be able to borrow it. The second part of my cargo has also arrived this week, so I can start right away, when I arrive. <\/p>\n
I will go to Trenton, ON on Monday morning to catch the plane from there. I will also spend a night in Thule, a USAF base in Greenland, before arriving at my final destination on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
I have also done a bit of shopping and replaced my 12-year old Gore Tex jacket and my pants that were at least 10 years old. I got some thin gloves to wear under the thick ones, in case I need the dexterity and I also got some waterproof notebooks. Now all there is left to do is stock up on batteries and filters for my camera and pack everything.<\/p>\n
I am definitely looking forward to the trip! Alert, here I come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
