It's been a week?

This is insane, I haven't written for a whole week? What have I been doing? Life around Kellyville has been going in fast forward, days blending together. Most of the time I have been working mornings (9 am until noon) with Ryan and then he heads off to bed. My afternoons have been spent working on my normal work back in Boulder and taking some time off to go hiking. Ryan gets up again around 9 pm and we work on the lasers until midnight when I head back to my room for my evening chat with my wife and daughter. I usually try and hit the sack around 1 am or so to get ready for the next day.

Weather wise, we have had everything from snow storms to days like today where I have the window in my room open to catch a breeze. On my hike yesterday I actually took off my jacket because it was so hot. I am concerned about heading up to Summit though, the temperatures are still hanging around -30 C and have not started to warm up significantly. We are 10 days from flying up there and the temps are still on the cold side.

Hiking in the area around Kellyville is fairly easy. You have a dozen or so large hills that are accessible to you to explore. Most take about 30-45 minutes to climb and the view from the tops are spectacular. I will post some of the photos over on the Picasa site later today. I am planning on taking a 1-2 hour hike this afternoon back towards the Fjord so I can take some more photos. I think everybody will enjoy them.

Please scroll to the bottom of this page to see a new photo that I took this evening.
