Schedule hiccups

So after we left McM a night in South Pole, we popped out to AGO2 for a week and then the schedule changed... we headed back to spole and took a day trip out to AGO3 (instead of a week) which was really hectic and cold (of course) but we got almost everything we wanted to do done. So we were a bit ahead of schedule, which is nice. After a long weekend at spole to recover and recreate (in the fun way), we were off to AGO1.

Not too much work to do at AGO1, but everything took twice as long because the winds stayed at about 30mph with drifting snow(not from above but snow from miles away blown in). But the hut was warm cause the wind turbine was cranking out the power. Eventually we ran out of things to do, for work, so I finished up my second hat, see pics on the web album (link below). We also had time to dig out the snow cave Jeff and I started last year, and Danny actually slept in it. Eventually we got a flight out on the DC3 which is always fun, cause it's big, heated, and plain cool. But little did I realize, we actually flew over AGO5 and couldn't land so they choose to boomerang us back to McM. A long, but picturesque, flight later we are back where we started, it's 40degF outside and as of right now I have no clue if we'll get out to AGO5 ... to be continued

This weeks quiz: what the hell is that a picture of?

First person to get that right gets to smell my pants
