The North Slope

This is the island they are building for multi-directional drilling...the picture below this was taken in the same area.

Polar Bear! They had been watching for bear signs and hadn't seen any in a while. The ice road was complete and the island was being built - and then this momma popped out. They had six hours to evacuate the island (including moving heavy equipment) and stop all work within 2 miles. They had to wait until she was gone for 48 hours before resuming work (ended up being a couple of weeks).


Scott working hard...



or hardly working?? :)
