End of the Lower Yukon trip and next!
Tohru Saito and Kenji Yoshikawa safely came back to Fairbanks on early this Saturday
morning (3/17/2007). We had a great time at villages as well as on the River (trail).
First 6-7 days were unusually cold and severe conditions for snow machine
and drill rig. However, it was getting warmer last 5 days. We stop 13
villages and talked 11 classrooms at 10 schools including for drilling 7
boreholes and installation 12 dataloggers. Local principals and teachers were very supportive for this project and simply
great time spending with them. I believe major aspect of this great success
was their enormous aid.
Jennifer (IARC) took cares of headquarter at UAF. And Matt Irinaga (VECO) coordinated transportation and shipping tactics. We deeply appreciate all of them.
During expedition, nine countries more than 360 web access was recorded on our web site. 94% of the access was from United State.
Finally, thank you for your interest of this blog.
Please keep watch this blog. We will go to Arctic Village and Ft. Yukon next week.
And "Snow Machine Trip 2007 Noatak/Kobuk Rivers" will start at the bigging of April!!
