Finally made it all the way to Noorvik, via a very scenic loop through much of Alaska, it was a gorgeous clear day so every mountain from Denali on was clearly visible.
At the airport Amy Eakin science teacher and Gordon Newlin school maintenance supervisor and village leader came out to great us, and gave us a warm welcome.
We managed to see much of the town already on the drive from the airport to the beautiful school building at the heart of the village.
Amy who will be our main contact during the week gave us a tour of the building, told us a little about town and then we plan to meet again tomorrow to see where Sam and I might be of assistance during the week.
Sam cooked me dinner in the teachers brake room, thanks Sam!, and then we went on a short walk through the rest of town.
Even though it was getting late the young kids were still out sliding in the snow while the older once zoomed by on four wheelers and snow machines.
On one of the pictures you can clearly see the 50 mile ice road between Noorvik and Kotzebue.
