Shaktoolik, Koyuk
It's unusual morning, after waking up at school, we packed up to leave Unalakleet. before then we stop by Ming's house for full breakfast. Very very nice fresh Unalakleet River trout! with soup. I could eat all bones in the soup! Thanks Ming!
When I back to the trail. It's surprising about no snow! more snow we could see in town but not outside.
When it became closer to Shaktoolik, I was afraid for wind! We did have amazing wind stream at Shaktoolik last year. We stop on beautiful methane bubble lake to prepare wind proof, face mask, etc!
We also stop by borehole site replace our datalogger.
Amazing!! no wind at all in Shaktoolik!
Also amazing, no bumpy at all...nice trail at crossing Norton Bay!
Less than 2 hours, we made it to Koyuk. Principal Kim told us trail to Granite mountain.
We were looking for holes against deep snow at Koyuk! We would like to re-drill here for deeper hole!
