back to Fairbanks
Our journey along the western coast of Alaska was over.
While some were sleeping in, Kenji went to the Fish and Wildlife office to talk about a landslide investigation project.
We parked the snow machines and the sleds for storage.
They will stay there until Kenji's next snow machine expedition.
Outside it was warm, but it had started to snow and the winds started picking up.
Now that we were off our snow machines, whether we can make it to Fairbanks was up to the airplane and weather.
The plane was delayed... waiting for more than two hours, the plane finally arrived.
The plane took off from Kotzebue under the cloudy sky.
As we got closer to Fairbanks, the clouds got thinner. I could see trees, hills and familiar landscapes from Minto Flats, and flying over the Prks Highway around Ester.
We safely landed in Fairbanks around 6 PM
Thanks Kenji!
