Kenji is back from Asian trip and Tohru success and back 2007 Denali expedition.
The school start a little more than a month, we start think about autumn village trips.
We will plan to visit Ft. Yukon, Northway, Circle, Dawson City, Kotzbue, Selawik…
So before we are getting busy, we look for good spot for drilling at Kenny Lake School. Kenny Lake is very tricky place to find permafrost. We expect this is one of the most southern boundaries of permafrost region in Alaska. The way go down to Kenny Lake, we saw lynx. Also we check borehole at Glennallen high school.
