It's warm at -11 but the wind is blowing at 23 knots. Not bad out but hard to see. This is walking to lunch

Things are melting! We should get another storm soon but it is getting nicer. I can't believe it's been over 2 months already.
I got to drive Delta Scharen to Pegusus runway and LDB yesterday which was awesome.
I am slotted to do the Black island fuel traverse too the second week of November. I very much hope this happens.
Thanks for the letters. Package mail is still backed up.
Let me know if you want a post card
I did snow school 1, AKA Happy Camper. It was a lot of fun, and pretty cold.

Dinner!
I got to do snow school! It is a 2 day, 1 night course out in the elements. I love this new thing called outside!
It's nice out! Mainbody is staring with a bang and lots of people. I like these people! I like the mail that comes with them! I got mail!
I got a travel bug! I got a wedding invitation! I got an awesome book my friend Lindsey published!
I also learned how to ride a snow mobile, drive giant cargo and fuel deltas, how to profile, spot and navigate over sea ice cracks. Soon I will learn how to build an emergency snow trench to sleep in.
We have not yet gotten our field camp info yet but soon I will find out if I go to the pole or the dry valleys or maybe just stay here.
I'll be sending out post cards soon so if you want one let me know.
Not much to see when driving Delta Sharen back from Pegasus road. The wind blew all the fresh snow around and we could not see. Luckily I could follow this dozer back in.
