Leaving on a CAT train!

...and the field trip is a GO! 

Official permission has been given, from both the big boss and the science boss. All of the preparations for the trip are done, assignments have been sent (stuck in my Outbox still counts as sent!) and almost everything is packed. Well, our current 'almost everything' might change again seeing that we also thought we had most of the stuff packed this morning, and then somehow the link kinda just filled up with all kinds of stuffs that still needed to go with. To be honest, I can't really remember what personal stuff to pack for a CAT train anymore. 

The plan is to complete the last odds and ends in the morning, hopefully leave before lunch, and then casually cruise our way to our camping spot. It is only 50km away, but with our raging Antarctic traveling speed, it might take us several hours to get there. Needless to say, we are all very excited that the day has finally dawned. 

Three days of no showers..bring it on yeo!

Snowman!

We had another uber storm that left us with no comms for almost a week, and the hangar covered in a proper layer of 'Its so fluffy I'm gonna die!' snow. So of course fluffy snow equals snowball fight and snowman building.. 


Sadly, it lasted only two days before it was back to being some misshaped blob that had to be shoveled from the hangar..
