“my friend Craig”, that is how I describe the cool guy I know who is sleeping every night in a tent, below zero, on top of 2.5 miles of glacial ice in Greenland. I have been following your journal every day and I have bragged to lots of people about this cooool guy I know. Therefore, I must apologize for not writing more often.
Anyway, I must say that your journal entries are great and I would love to get a chance to camp out and work at Summit Camp. I do have a question and 2 requests:
- Now that you have shown us where the water comes from, could you explain where the waste water, sewage and garbage go? How do they keep the camp clean?
- I really liked the way you explained the calories plus cold plus exercise equals weight loss realities of Arctic field work to your wife. Could you make that into a journal entry?
I hope that you take time to put the tools down and just soak in the experience that you are having. Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us.
“your friend”,
Jeff
