<\/p>\nWell this morning I hopped on my 12th flight, this time from Nome, destination…. St. Lawrence Island.\u00a0 My first stop was in Savoonga.\u00a0 I hopped off the plane and got a ride into the school.\u00a0 I went in and visited with Doug Finn, a friend and one of the teachers in Savoonga.\u00a0 My bags came in a little while after me.\u00a0 There wasn’t room on the machine I was riding on, and the guy that brought them to the school for me was the local Hageland Agent.\u00a0 He needed to drop off the mail and the supplies for the store before getting my stuff to the school.\u00a0 So that gave me time to check email.<\/p>\n
Doug, his wife Michelle, and I had lunch at their house and when they went back to school I borrowed their snowmachine to go shoot around the village.\u00a0 I drove out of town a ways and shot back over the village.\u00a0 It was pretty white out, so we’ll see how things look when I get them into the computer.\u00a0 I snapped this photo of me before I headed back towards town.\u00a0 The sticks in a tepee shape in the background are markers for the trail.\u00a0 They have these every 100 feet or so along the trail.\u00a0 This helps you find your way when the weather is really bad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So I shot around town some more and took a little video in the classrooms.\u00a0 By then it was working on evening time and I was hopping on another plane to go to the other side of the island, this time to Gambell.\u00a0 I made it just as the sun was going down.\u00a0 The view flying in was amazing.\u00a0 I tried to shoot it with the video camera, but my window was iced up and I couldn’t get a very good view through the crystals.\u00a0 So as soon I got to the school I borrowed a 4-wheeler and drove it up the side of the mountain behind the school until I got stuck, and then hiked on from there.\u00a0 I didn’t get as high as I would have liked,\u00a0 but I was able to shoot the sunset, and down over the town some as well.<\/p>\n
