After hauling 5 full coolers and heavy bags of personal gear, I made it back to sunny Kotzebue! Peter picked up Dave and I from the small Kotzebue airport and we hauled our gear to our bunkhouse which is near the Park Service station. We are staying in Kotzebue throughout our stay and will take a helicopter to and from our sites over the next few days. Patrik, the Swedish pilot that we flew with last summer, will be our pilot again this sampling trip.
