We've packed up and shipped out...at least, all the non perishable food, camping gear, notebooks, dig kits, etc. etc. necessary for 5-8 people for 48 days in the field. 56 days from the day of departure from St.John's on July 2 to Lewisporte where we stay overnight and prepare to catch a ferry overnight to Goose Bay. In Goose Bay we buy perishables, last minute items we forgot about, and perhaps beer. We stay overnight and leave the next day for Rigolet on a new ferry. In Rigolet we pick up our 50+ shipped packages, hire 1-3 kids for our crew, and perhaps buy beer. From there we get a boat ride in some guy's boat to our site. Speaking of, I'm pretty sure google maps updated their imaging of the Rigolet region from the last time I checked, since you can zoom in pretty far around Snooks Cove.
We have a break during the weekend of August 8-9th, which also happens to be the Annual Rigolet Salmon Festival! From then it's really only a couple weeks until we fly out of Rigolet to Goose Bay, change plans to a bigger one and fly to St. John's. That way we get outta there ASAP, back to mattresses, running hot water, fresh food, and kittens.
Now to gather all those things to entertain myself without the internet...
