Plan for Wednesday, 12 November

Kjell Henricksen Observatory will be my camera site, near Longyearbyen.  We will drive there tomorrow.  Well, we drive partway and then travel the last couple kilometers in a vehicle called a Hagglund belt-wagon.  I hope to get the camera site set up and ready to go.  Barrett is traveling on to Ny-Alesund on Friday, to set up his site, and this will be good hands on training.  In other words, I will have someone else doing the heavy lifting :)  I'm smart that way.  Thank goodness for headlamps!
Time to break out the big boots.  It was pretty nippy today but I noticed that vehicles aren't plugged in so it's not as cold as Alaska.  My vehicle has front and rear seat warmers!  No more fighting over the passenger seat.
Did I mention the heated floors in the bathroom?  That is the best invention ever.  If you leave the door open, you can pretty much heat the whole place.
