North to Alaska with the wife

Since this isn't really part of gold prospecting I won't post our trip on this site.  You can visit www.georgeandlindawedding.BlogSpot.com to follow our trip.  Dave will come up to Alaska and meet with George while we are there and then the guys will go out to the site. 

I haven't done very well keeping you posted about what is going on but their old pilot is still out of commission.  He is still trying to get parts for his engine.  Remember he had an emergency landing on a gravel bar last Oct and still isn't ready.  Dave told me I could be the first to fly with him when he gets his plane fixed so they could make sure it's safe.  Dave is a funny funny man and I told him I would pass.   Dave has had first hand experience with plane crashes so I wouldn't be surprised if he is a little gun shy
The guys have a new pilot and he's planning to take their stuff to the site a week before they are due in so they won't be in the same fix they were in last year.  The guys are taking a core drill to the site  and the plan is to drill to find the source of the gold on this trip.  They're planning to head to the site the end of June and I will stay in the RV in Anchorage or Palmer.  After a month of traveling I am sure I will enjoy some me time with my little dog Toto.
