CJ, That's a good picture of your truck. Never did get any of mine when I was working down at Healy ten years ago.
Most people have a hard time with even thinking of 30 to 60 below zero temp.'s, then when you tell them that you work outside in those temp.'s and it just blows their mind. Back when I use to work track, I remember working a pull-apart on the bridge at Nenana. The temperature back in Nenana at the section house was 56 below zero. Of course with poly-p underware, the black lined Carhartt's, and a good pair of steel packs, and you would think that it was summer.
I got AT coming up in March and we are suppose to be up at Wainwright for about a week. If we get any kind of MWR time, I'm heading for the resort at Chena Hot Springs.
