Back in time a little- helicopter loads


It's a 100' longline


Dave King helped us get about 9000lbs. up to the site in just over an hour, including travel from his ranch.


Luckily we had a local guy volunteer to help us package the loads. I've worked with helicopters a little but this situation was different and not as obvious. With experienced help we managed all the materials in seven loads, at about 1500lbs. each, give or take.


Tarped and ready for the coming snow

Wow you guys! So impressive! As always an inspiration. We so miss Alaska and all our family there. Keep in touch, cuz we're already scoping out land in the Mat-Su Valley for when Patrick is done with school in August.....Yep! We're coming HOME.
Keep up the hardwork and the blog posts.
Hugs,
The Boynes
