The day dawned sunny and waterless...although I hear that service has been restored since I left. I was cruising through what I thought would be a slow morning when the word came that the NYO squad was leaving early, to avoid the worsening weather that was building up along the coast. We were all jumping pretty quick to get packed and moving in time. A quick trot down to the airport, and we were on the way south. The flight took a little over an hour, and took us over the Bering Sea at one point. In order to land here, we have to make a left hand turn around a big rock that towers over the sea at the entrance to the bay. Pretty impressive. Kind of a sideways landing, and next we knew, we were sitting on the trailer behind a 4-wheeler climbing the hill to the school here.
The weather has been going down hill since we arrived. There is a blizzard warning posted through 11 PM. The winds are getting stronger, and the snow is getting thicker. Dinner is at 6, and the events are supposed to start at around 7. More to follow. Pictures will have to wait until Saturday. I have a good bunch of kids with me here. Fun so far...
