Well it wasn't all bad.. So as some of you know I am in the Yukon and I am working on the Yukon Quest (for those who do not know what that is, it is a 1000 Mile International Dog Sled Race that goes from Alaska to Whitehorse Yukon) and today we were on our way to both Braeburn and Carmacks. And on our journey we stopped halfway to put our warm clothes and whatever else in the cab of the truck and lock it. So we are on our way and it is a 2 hour drive to Braeburn and everything is going smooth untill we get to Braeburn (which was a fun drive with the 3 other guys I was with) and we look in the back of the truck and my $150 Mountain Equipment Co-op Coat, My Thermo sweater and my hoodie are gone as well as the other guy's $200 Columbia Jacket. SHIT! We looked everywhere traced our steps but couldn't find it. And now I must call Katimavik (because we have insurance for these things) and explain to them the situation and hopefully get another coat... If I were in Ontario I wouldn't bother but I am in the YUKON where on a good day it is -20. So I need a coat. And with $21 a week and the money in the bank is paying for the car back home and bills... I am screwed. Ugh going to be a fun night for me. Kill me now:bang:flaming

Wow that sucks. I'm looking into possibly working in Yellowknife or something like that this summer. Get some experience as a dockhand for a float flying operator.

Yikes. It's -11 here and I'm freezing my nuts off. I hope you get that jacket soon.
