Yesssss...it is great up North in the Winter....yeah right! If you are not partnered up by October....those winter nights....21 hours long ...get awfully cold. When a gal says she will spend the night....that could be months. Snow up to your butt.....snot frozen to your mustache....fingers numb up to your elbows.....jet fuel like jelly....taking the battery and engine oil into the hut each night.....gosh...I do miss it all! Waking up in the morning....kerosun heater on full blast....temp hovering around minus 35F in the tent....no bath for six weeks....cranking the aircraft every fifteen minutes ......oh...yes...I do miss it so! What was I thinking when I took a job in a temperate climate.....
