Where is Tomek exactly?

He's there, at the mine highlighted on the map... a few hundred km north of the southern tip of Alaska: He thinks it would take me till Saturday to drive up there and get him. But if it's only 450 km to Prince George, it's probably another 800 km to where we live from the mine, 1250 km total. I've driven 600 km without stopping before; I could do it again. I've also driven 1200 km in a day before, by myself. Not while 8 1/2 months pregnant though... and not through areas that have been hit by forest fires...

I guess I'm just going to have to send speedy thoughts up there that he's able to get all the wires run and the mag locks installed and everything else in place and operational by tonight. He's probably only got till 10 a.m. tomorrow morning if he wants to make the flights home.

I really hope he makes it.

Road trip! Woo-hoo! Imagine the stories you could tell LB about your 1,200km solo road trip while pregnant...

You know, as I typed that I realized that such a trip is not a good idea. I guess we will all have to wait impatiently for Toe Meck to return.
