March 20

A twelve day project was started from Aklavik to the Alaska border. We previously hauled gas to Shingle Point on March 9th and 10th with two ski-doos.

We have now been ready for the trip for a few days. Annie has been busy baking bread, tarts, ham and cooking caribou meat. I have been busy servicing all equipment to make sure that they are all in good running order.

We waited for Lawrence Rogers who works for the Inuvialuit Communications Society (ICS). He will be documenting the whole trip on film for the ICS. A phone call from Lawrence Rogers confirming that he will be arriving in Aklavik on March 20.
