Keep your eyes on the casing..

After the mishap with all of the pipe lost down the hole at D1d, we were slightly wary that the GYGY monster might have developed a taste for steel and attempt another meal. So we kept a close eye on each piece as the casing was loaded, 2 by 2, onto the sled to make the dozer trip back to camp. All of the large pieces of equipment, including the rig itself, mud tanks, casing, pipe rack, and the big tool box were unloaded from the platform using the crane and put into containers or sleds to be transported back to camp. Many containers were packed on the ice pad and will be inventoried back at camp to be ready for shipment to Magadan via Pevek.
