Blog too long

Somebody complained that I was being "too chatty"...lol...how about you don't read the blog if you don't want to :)
I am attempting to both keep up a blog and have it double as my journal, so, it is bound to be long...anyway, I won't bore you with more of my chattiness, here are some pics instead

ECW clothing that you have to be wearing on the ice flight




Suiting up...it gets hot real quick



The inside of the C-17. I found it as enjoyable, if not moreso, than coach on a commercial airline. The C-130 though, is a totally different matter...


The C-17 Globemaster...it is too big to use skis so they have to land on a special ice runway that is on the permanent ice shelf about 45 minutes outside McMurdo


Transport from the ice runway into town. Wonder how this ride would look with some rims and spinners on it...



Some pics from just outside of town...the only thing McMurdo is good for (IMHO) is the pics...otherwise I really don't like the place too much...
