This means that I will probably be here in Mac town for a while (at least a week). I spent the day busy with classwork. I had to take the refresher snow school course and buff up my knowledge on radio usage, survival, and cold weather life. I also had my Science in-brief and gathered my gear the Berg Field Center (aka "the BFC").
I am crammed like a sardine into a dorm room with 4 other "transient" camp folks and it certainly makes for a noisy (snoring) evening. I imagine that I will be through with most of my gear retrieval and classwork by end of week.
Here are some quick pics:
The mighty C-17 in Christchurch

Ultrarunningguy creator made a comic about my ice adventures. Yay!

Hey Lakewood!
How cool! I didnt realize you knew the Ultra Running Guy! I love his comics! That is very cool that you got your own comic from him! Loved it!
Well have a great time down there! Looking forward to see what adventures will come your way!
You've had lots of cool adventures and have documented them with cool pics. Nice.
I work at Pratt & Whitney (maker of the engines on the C-17) and worked for several years on the program that managed the maintenance of those engines...
