About to leave on a big trip

Wow, thanks for sharing, it's almost like we all were there for the adventure. Hope you can figure out how to clean your gas soaked gear.

Thanks Darlene. Yeah, me too. So far, I've read that letting it evaporate in the air for quite a while (so everything's hanging in the garage with the heater on and the door cracked a little). Then, after most of the smell's gone, I've read either to use a lot of Vodka (really), vinegar, or baby oil in the washer, allowing to air dry, then repeating as many times as necessary. I think I'll use one of the washing machines at work though, don't want to chance getting gas all over ours.

Love the pictures! I would love to go to Churchill one day--it's on our bucket list!

Got a bunch more Northern Lights pictures last night as well. They were the best I've seen them this year so far, you couldn't see all of them at once with the naked eye, let alone the camera lens. The sky was filled. I happened to be walking the dog at the time, and happened to bring the camera along, so it wasn't maybe the best location, but I tried to get some of the town lights in frame to try something different.

Wish I would have been a little further out of town, though.

Here's one, I might start a new thread for the others.

Those are some great pictures! But, holy cow!! The idea of being that close to a polar bear is way scary!

I would try the vinegar. When my husband works on the cars and his clothes are stinky from the oil and grease and gas, I wash them by themselves with double the soap and I dump in a buttload of vinegar in.

Glad to see you made it back safe and sound.
Thank you for sharing the photos with us.
I really really loved seeing them and reading about your adventure.
I'll be showing dh the photos since he loves this kind of stuff as well.

I could almost feel the cold oozing out of the photos. (shiver)

Once again thank you for sharing.
