For some reason I can not download videos on this blog.
Well we have less than a
week and George will be taking off for Alaska.
Did you notice I didn’t say George and Dave? Yep. I
found out that Dave just had a hip replacement; maybe 2-3 weeks ago. I asked how in the world Dave was going to be
able to drive the heavy equipment or straddle the snow mobile. This is when I found out that Dave will not be
going. Sooo… here is what I have found
out as “the revised” plan. Our pilot,
Barney, who has experience in everything will be coordinating their expedition. He is a true Alaska wilderness man and can
drive heavy equipment plus he has great piloting skills. He has also just finished the Iron Dog race
and came in 10th place which is quite a feat so I am very
comfortable with Barney in charge. The
temperatures drop below 0 at night and he does have great survival skills. Now we have George who is overcome with gold
fever and insist that he can drive heavy equipment. I have to tell you I have never seen him on a
piece of heavy equipment except maybe when they bought their dozer and only for
a photo op. Should I be worried? Next I find out that we have another crew
member coming in from Hawaii. It has yet
to be disclosed weather he has heavy equipment skills. Should I be afraid? Well I am.
Is George afraid? Not at all. What have I learned from this? If you have a bad enough case of gold fever
you can do… a n y t h I n g.
