Two weeks down, two to go!

Urg, I'm exhausted - I put in 87 hours this week and I'm ready to sleep in a little but SURPRISE! they scheduled us to fly out at 8am tomorrow morning for another two week stint in the field. My hands are cracking and swollen from digging in the soil, my legs are bruised from fighting through the brush with a shovel, and my eyes can barely stay open to dig another hole..and I'm loving every minute of it. Can't wait to see a new part of Alaska tomorrow! Not sure what the internet is going to be like at the Beluga Camp or even if I have a room to sleep in - only time will tell. Here are some pics from my time at Donlin Camp. More pictures to come...you might even see a picture of a bear we spotted in camp last night!

Getting dropped off at "the office"

Traveling to Donlin with my coworker Luke on a small airplane


My bedroom

My bladder woke me up at 4am so I took a picture of the sunrise

Meandering rivers everywhere but not a road in sight = awesome!

Beautiful green hillsides

This pic was taken after scrubbing my hands AND taking a shower

Don't really need to explain this picture.
