Kotzebue
It looks beautiful day! We left Buckland 9:30am with morning sunshine.
When we cross at Buckland River, wind start picking up. We throught another windy day?! but not!
When we hit peninsula, no wind, smooth surface, a lot of caribou crossing in front of us.
We made to Kotzebue this afternoon. We stop High school, Elementary and Fish and wildlife office.
Henry, who rescue Emmonak datalogger from Yukon flooding last spring, should be here at 5th grade. Henry's family move from Emmonak to Kotzebue last year. So I am very exciting to see them!
We stay in bunk house at FWS.
In the evening, we had dinner with Schidbach family. I mentioned Henry is smart kid and rescuing logger at Emmonak. Father Bill was principal at school at that time. It was very nice to see a year later at Kotzebue! This is one of the best things for this project. I could meet many nice people in the remote side of Alaska.
