Next Stop: Arctic

Susan, Keelin, Laurie and Barb (top picture order) as they load their gear into the car and pack it into the Minneapolis Airport on Sunday, July 9th. I dropped them off, shot a few pictures, and said my goodbyes. Paddles are in the long box. Notice the round, blue, bear-proof (supposedly) pack on the right. Packing had to be well-planned to manage not only the weight limits of the airports to manage hefty fees, but also security restrictions. They had to ship some of their items ahead of them because of airport security rules.

Off they go to a place in the world that few have seen. To place themselves out of their element and experience something few have experienced. All a bit nervous, but excited, off they head to Nunavut!
