Permafrost outreach 2009

We are back on river! and very busy day, especially Kaji! He left Anchorage this morning coming in Bethel 8:30am. Then Andrea drive her truck to pick Kaji up. We are rush to prepare to leave. I would like to see science fair at LKSD, but we better hurry, otherwise we could not make 150 miles ride before dark. 9:30am, we are already on trail, windy, cold... this is totally different than the two weeks ago. Until 11:30am, we are at Kwethluk to meet James’s science class. After the Kwethluk, we stop by Akiak to meet principal Nancy Mazurek and Tuluksak principal Mariah Wolf. Then another 50 miles to Kalskag. Trail is getting bumpy by the windy susturgi. Then finally, we reach Aniak at 5:50pm. Science teacher Marion show us the school and install frost tube. we have problem by the cold all of the items such as Generator, drill,,, It only -10 to -20 dF, but maybe we did not use since 1st trip. Anyway, we all done and back to Marion’s house. He made very very nice beef stew, pudding. This is great treats for us and very comfortable house we stay tonight!
