A day at the Beach, Churchill Style.

We really don't worry much about fashion here. The answer to, "What should I wear?" is "Everything". Today I had on (in order, from inside to out) Cashmere Vest, Turtle Neck, Long Sleeved T Shirt, Sweatshirt, Gortex Army Rain Gear. On my feet, four pairs of socks, "gum boots" (knee high rubber boots), Jeans and Gortex Army Rain Pants. When we went out to our afternoon site we hiked, forded a stream, climbed over a snow drift, sogged through the bog, ducked through the trees and crossed the tundra. I wasn't the only one to take a "booter" (have the water go inside your boot) but since your feet go numb almost immediately, it isn't too bad. And I had a grand time watching the weather front approaching, digging up samples and doing the same trip in reverse in the rain.
