Wow just got home last night and was having a hot tea with Glaza when the power drop off ! At -48c the whole town is in the dark and cold. Its a crazy thing ! We have the home ready and what we need to light and heat when this happens. A lot of places in town don’t ! The Power House Crew are a very special team that are on 24/7, it was down 20 minutes and we where back up and on line ! Bless this crew and keep them safe out there on a -48c super cold Yukon night.
This shot is like your going to drive off the face of the earth ! I have been the driver in this cold. Glaza is on shift work and my job is to get her there and home safe. At -48c the run from the warm shop back to the warm shop is all you what to do before it slows down and stiffens up big time ! Keeping out of the deep cold is the only way it will move when one needs to roll on it.
The Yukon cold is like no other cold ! The cold will freeze you in minuets. It is hard to wrap my head around Bob Wilms out there making 30 miles a day with a two team dogsled all their food, supplies and gear for him and the two dogs into a Cassiar country that no man had walked in ! 1923
I was outside in the freezing cold, I can hear it coming. I just went for the shot ! Not knowing if I got it I nailed it ! Very cool shot of the hot heated trail Steve in his flying machine -47c S/E Yukon The land Of Not Too Much Heat In The Sun !
Wow crazy, I was just saying how slippery things can be at -46c cold! Everyone was ok here but it is a good reminder to all of us how dangerous our work is everyday. Moving big things in the extreme cold. Give the operators lots of room, stay back! That is just what this crew did and everyone stayed safe. The boys will come and put it upright and with a little repair it will be as good as new.
