Tired, But Home Safe and Sound

Our arctic explorers arrived home safely. More on the trip later. The three-trip, four-mile portage at the end (20 miles in total) exhausted them, but at the airport they were high on adrenaline and radiant in their accomplishment. Three weeks on arctic whitewater river, without seeing another person or even hearing a human noise the entire time. A bit sore, but with memories to last a lifetime.
