In the last few days, the Lake E ice highway has seen a lot of dozer traffic. Since the second day of tear down, three dozers have been back and forth from the platform to camp - day and night - dragging all of the parts and pieces of the rig back to camp (about 3 hours round trip). The platform itself, after all the walls and roof panels were disassembled and packed into a container, was separated into 6 pieces. The larger dozer was able to tow a quarter at a time, but the smaller dozer could only tow an eighth. Between the platform pieces and the containers, those dozers know that road well! As of Tuesday night, everything from the ice pad is back at camp except for snow fence, bamboo poles, and the dreaded outhouse.. We will be out in the next couple of days to do a final clean-up and inspection.
