The Whitehorse digs

Ladies and gentlemen, we have power!

We went back to the apartment last night to a hooked up power supply. Never has flicking on a light switch (and figuring out which switch turns what on) been so much fun. And satisfying.

We had one last camping supper, consisting of rehydrated Black Bart Chili in a bag which didn't turn out so well. I somehow always seem to add too much water in the bag and it turned into Black Bart Chili soup. But, this was soon forgotten when we hit up the grocery store to finally stock the kitchen with some real food. Oh man! Dan did a good job restraining me, since I had a grocery wish list a mile long. It was so nice to walk in the door of the apartment and hear the fridge humming and to open the door and actually feel the cold! Finally, cold beer!

Speaking of apartment, I've had some requests to see what it looks like. So, here goes:

Pretty standard. It's a good size and NOLS has been able to provide enough furniture for us to work with. The branch is in a warehouse right closeby.

It's a super big space so both Dan and I have lots of room to work with (until the students arrive at least).

Dan has a big area for rations prep and storage,

and I have the equipment area (very backstock-esque).

I even have a little store/retail area, complete with a MEC skid waiting for me to break down- ahh nostalgia!

So far, we've been busy pulling things apart and cleaning/organizing so that we can figure out what we have and where it all is. It's tedious, it's dirty and it's beats sitting at a desk hands down :)
