Great job with blogging Lindsay! I hope you tough girls get to help dig the tunnel! Here's a question: It's getting darker here in Montana, so I'm guessing that it's getting sunnier down there. Is it warming up at all?

Hey Galena!
Thanks for following my blog. Today the boys taught Amanda and I how to chainsaw and we helped out with the tunnel. It was a lot easier than I thought. The chainsaw does all the work. As for the sun, when we were in McMurdo there was a couple hours of twilight at night. Here in the Dry Valleys, the sun seems to be out all the time. Even today we saw a big difference from yesterday. The sun stayed above the ridgeline a lot longer than yesterday and there was more sun to keep us warm at the tunnel. Thanks for checking in and now that comms hooked us up with wireless, I should have more journals coming.
