This morning we loaded into a Basler BT-67 (Turbine DC-3) aircraft and flew to Miller Range. Our official camp name is Ascent Glacier. We have made it. From now on we will travel by skidoo. We will try to access as many outcrops as possible in pursuit of lamprophyre.
We had beautiful weather for camp put-in. Calm, blue sunny sky, and relatively warm temperatures. They taxied right to where we threw out our gear and starting setting up camp. I almost thought the flight team were about to stick around and watch us dig tent plots. But off they went and on we continued to build camp.
Tomorrow we will head out to begin our rock hunt.
