The bugs were really bad, as soon as the wind stopped, I was swarmed. I did pretty good, only got about 8 bites. I didnt have any chance of exploring, I was pretty much confined to the living area.
This was my first experience with having 24 hours of daylight. It would take some getting used too if you had to work at this location year round. Most of them worked a 2 weeks on\off schedule. Alaska airlines shuttles the workers from ANC every week. The only other way to this site besides flying, was by boat. They built a road that is 56 miles from the mine to the Chuckchi sea. That is how they move the ore. It was a very interesting operation considering how remote it is.
, looks cool. How were the bugs?
