WAITING FOR THE BARGE



July 24, 2014

Now we are waiting for the barge.  It was going to cost…wait for it… $20,000 to barge it up from Bethel to McGrath.  Operative word is: Was.  Now it is only going to cost $10,000 to barge it from Bethel to Takona.  What a deal!  Sounds good when I put it like that, huh.  That’s a 50% savings folks.  It will take 9 days and it is 440 miles of river.  If this doesn’t make it on the barge this year, it will put them a whole year behind.  Sounds like an episode right out of Gold Rush doesn’t it?   Is does make one a little anxious to invest all of this money on a hope and a prayer.  That reminds you of Todd Hoffman huh?  So we are waiting. 

So far the dozer doesn’t have a name.  Maybe they’re waiting to see if it causes them some grief to know if it will be a male or female name.
