Richard gets lost in a Blizzard!

It has been awhile since I add to this. Feb. 27, there was a blizzard here in Kotzebue with white out conditions. Richard attempted to walk home in it, and got lost. He found a house and called me from there, saying he was close to home, and hung up. I waited an hour, no Richard. I started to panic. Called 911, and they would not send anyone out "unless they were bleeding to death or having a heart attack". All I could do was wait. 2 hours later Richard walk in the door. He only had to walk about 150 yards from the hospital.

The bad news about the whole thing is, someone else also got lost in the blizzard, and Innupiat man. They found him frozen to death. I am hopeing what I keep telling Richard will sink in. We are NOT in a safe area even though it looks like a town! I feel really sorry for the family that wasn't as lucky as I was.

I have made a album of what it is like up here. You can see all the snow the storm dumped! The drifts are 18 ft deep in places! Enjoy!
