October 1, On the road

After a nice sendoff pep rally for our sole runner going to Anchorage this weekend, the runner and I boarded Bering Air, on a flight from Buckland to Deering to Kotzebue. After an hour or so, we arrived in Kotz, but still had to wait 30 minutes for the final runner from Selawik in our group to leave and head to our hotel for the night. Except in the NWABSD, the term "hotel" really means classroom floor. So as I write this, I'm sitting on the floor of a Kotzebue Middle School floor, not the best accommodations for the night, however, life in Kotz isn't so bad. We ate dinner at "The Empress," A REAL RESTAURANT!!! I had what tasted like the best bacon cheeseburger in the world (It probably was horrible, but when you haven't had one in almost 3 months, anything will do!). Anyways, I need some sleep, early flight to the "Big City" tomorrow morning, leaves at 8:00am! Hopefully I get internet access in Anchorage!
