Well today is a rest and recovery and catch up day. Only did 5 loads of laundry (they are fairly small machines...but still) nice to have clean underwear and socks! We hadn't quite reached the point of recycling yet, but it was close!
Barb and I went back to the base....went to BX and I got a new pair of jeans since the new pair I got before I left had zipper problems and one of the older pair I brought gave up the ghost and began separating at the back pocket. Then went to commissary and stocked up on groceries and on to shopette for booze, beer and mixers...the important stuff!
Put groceries away, then laundry and then we made a trial run to Fairbanks so we could be sure to find the airport and the charter company we needed. Frank and Jerry went in and talked to them as Frank thought he might know some of the pilots. Many of the pilots he taught and flew with in Hawaii have since come to Alaska but they were not at this company.
We got our information, etc. The only bummer was that we had to turn in our weights so they could balance the plane (this is a small 10 passenger plane) or so they said.....I thought it was a bit personal myself!! Then they told us we could only have 10 lbs of luggage each.
Went back to RV park and had a bit of dinner, did a little trip planning, then packed and got stuff ready for the trip. Jerry and Frank took the dogs to be boarded and that was hard. To bed relatively early for an early start in the morning.
Took only a couple of pictures today - mainly of the penned up reindeer here at the RV park so I will try and post a few other pix that might be of interest. That's all for today....love, Linda
