It's been six months since I've been to the slope. People that I talk to, folks that have no concept of having spent years in the arctic, say it must be a relief. It's not. While I would be a liar to say that I can't wait to go back to the slope, it beats the hell out of working in Anchorage and being in an office. The slope offers opportunity; to get outdoors, to breathe fresh air, and to appreciate the wild that Alaska has to offer.
Six more months and I'll be back on solid ground. Point Thomson here I come.
