chess pieces...

I'm sitting here in my tiny closet bedroom, firing off messages to reroute and coordinate people and airplanes to get our equipment to Devon Island later today. FirstAir is sending a charter 737 to Iqaluit to carry the backlog of cargo on to Resolute. Then we will have two DHC-6 Twin Otter charters today from Resolute to base camp, weather permitting. The second will wait for the incoming cargo. So, barring yet more obstacles, everything and everyone will be in the crater by the end of today. Except for myself, of course ;-).

I thought you were in the Arctic already, from the description of your post.
I haven't been following closely.

Are you goign up there at all this year? If so, will you be heading through Edmonton?

I'm visiting PJT from 18 July to 8 Aug - it would be fun to meet up!

We should have two chances... I'll be there July 19, headed up and August 3-5 on my return. :-)

Might see you on Friday then!

I guess you can liaise with PJT to see if its feasible to meet up?

I suspect we may be camping on the August dates. Again, PJT knows whats going on.

Good luck with your travels!

My closet-like bedroom is in my garage in Mountain View :-). Thanks for your support and kind thoughts in any case!
