So Saturday was the return to Fairbanks. The plan was to get an early start and be back in time for dinner but it took >3 hours to start the truck so we ended up getting back closer to 10pm after stopping at the Silver Gulch for dinner. This meant that I did not get to go to the after launch party but at least was able to get cell phone reception early enough to text Meghan a question for Hans. Thankfully he gave the go ahead for leaving the hundreds-of-pounds heated box in the Toolik truck for the weekend.On the way we saw a ptarmigan and four moose. Gus and his wife, who drove me back, dropped me off at the Wedgewood and I took a 3 minute shower, spent about 20 minutes looking for Pat's phone #, and then got him to come meet some of the gang at a local bar. At least I didn't miss out on all of the fun! We have some pictures but I'm not sure that I want them in the public domain.
However, please check out this link; Pat is now a Youtube star:
