Kanger Finally

Greetings from Kangerlussuaq Greenland.  I finally made it here at 7:30 pm Local.  We had a long flight today with a stop in Goose Bay Newfoundland.  I have pictures of the stop which will be uploaded to the Picasa site in the next couple of hours.  It is currently 9:22 pm and Bag Drag for tomorrow's flight to Summit is at 9:30.  For a brief refresher course here are some terms I will be tossing around.

ANG - normally this means the Air National Guard 109th LC-130 drivers.
Bag Drag - time to get your gear to the ANG to be palletized.
LC-130 - Special version of the C-130 military plane that has skies for landing on snow runways.KISS - the KISS building in Kangerlussuaq where you spend your nights while waiting to go to or come from Summit.

That should be enough information for now.

PS, Looks like I am having problems uploading photos to Picasa.  I'll work on it and let everybody know when I get it working.  G'Night
