Thanks for the update--just saw the post about landing in Cambridge Bay etc.  I guess people in the Arctic are so hospitable because it is such a foreboding environment for so much of the year? We are all fine here!

Hi EW:
Yes, without the support of neighbors, life would be very difficult here. When Dawn drove us out to the tundra, a neighbor drove out on her 4-wheeler after us just to make sure her old truck did not give out and leave 8 Arctic researchers stranded in the tundra!xxox
