Here’s the deal. We’re on the tundra and off the grid. If all has gone according to plan, we are currently holed up in the Behr Family Compound on Coffee Point. We have likely arrived tired and hungry, climbing out of a five-person bush plane onto the gravel landing strip at Coffee Point. Likely, Bob was there to greet us with a rusted-out pickup truck in which all of us rode the mile or so to the cabin.
Here’s the cabin, our home for the next month or so.
It’s the main house, one of eight buildings (nine, if you count the outhouse) on the compound. If you want to get a glimpse of the rest, here’s a post from our old blog, The Barnstorming.
There are no paved roads in Coffee Point, no public water or electricity. We can charge our laptops with a diesel generator and run a water pump with car batteries, but we don’t have a phone or an internet connection. Which means we won’t be able to keep in touch with you in real time for the next few weeks. But we’ve scheduled a bunch of posts to go up while we’re gone.
Enjoy your warm days of summer. We’ll be enjoying the cool gusts on the bluff along the river.
