Ambler
We had long tundra ride for Ambler from Selawik. Kenji meets students at two science classes this morning.
After the class at 11am, Clyde shows us the gas station and the trail head for Ambler.
Ambler trail is not much used like Noorvik trail. But it's still good shape and we can make it 4 hours including crossing two thin ice creeks.
Ambler is pretty south facing slope village along the Kobuk River. It is nice to see trees. Princepal (Dr. B) arrange for nice apartments for us and warm warehouse for sleds. After the drilling, we enjoy warm shower and reorganizing equipment in the warm place.
