Big Triangle part 2 (Northway)
Next morning (Oct.23, 2007) after we download data from Kenny Lake, We start drive for Northway another 180 miles. The way go up to Northway, we stop by Gakona, Chistochina, Slana, Mentasta Lake schools for future borehole establishment!
Northway is the almost boder village to Canada. That why some of the students have relatives in Beaver Creek (Canada). We arrive village after 6:00 pm and start drilling.
Drill is quite easy in the frozen sand all the way to 6m. We finish all of the installation around 8pm.
On Wednesday morning, Kenji met science teacher (Jennifer) and students. We have a chance to talk two classroom until noon. Then after checking temperature, we head back to Fairbanks.
