One week left and counting


July 30-

It rained a bit last night and I slept through it. Why is the only "Arctic weather" happening while I'm alseep.
 
This morning we started packing up to go home.  Are plans are to leave on Friday relatively early in the day. Up here you pack when the sun is shining because you never know whats going to happen. The current forecast is for some serious rain Wednesday and Thursday.

So today I became serious about doing the food and paper goods inventory. Yes we still have 800+ rolls of toilet paper, 12,000 ziplock lunch bags, a case of molasses and about 20 pounds of chocolate chips. I also went through the kitchen and re-wrapped the dishes which I just won't use before the end of the season.  It's great to think about going home but there is still SO much to see and do.


I will be leaving on the first flight out with the NASA team. We will go to Resolute then the next day fly to Yellowknife. I will be home (if all goes according to current plans) a week from tomorrow.
