“Dear James
I thought you would like to see some the pictures that I took while up in Prudehoe Bay. I am a Pelham police department 911 dispatcher. My dad, who is a Pelham firefighter, myself and two other Pelham firefighters have been on this trip for about 2 1/2 weeks. I took these pictures 3 days ago. They are riding motorcycles and I am driving the chase truck. I am happy to report that my dad and I are now official members of the polar bear club, that’s right we took a dip in the Arctic ocean which was a balmy 34 degrees at the time. It is absolutely beautiful up here. I have taken 1300 pictures so far, so these are just a few of them. These pictures are of the sea ice, a caribou, a muddy truck (1000 miles of mud and gravel roads), a mountain shot, a road shot, and a Dalton highway sign shot, a fireweed shot and temperature shot I took from inside my truck 35 degrees!. When I get back home would love to send you more…”
