Living so close to Santa, why wait for Christmas and just go up and visit some evening?
I was going to say "shut your piehole!" but after seeing where you are, I'm going to cut you a LOT of slack!

I set up and run a 40 man FOB camp for the guys tearing down the old Dew Line radar station.
AK_Mike was probably the northern most more than anyone. He worked on DEW line sites for 20 years.

The only reason they called it "Point Lonely" is because "Point Fuck This Fucking Shit" was considered both too vulgar and too honest for use.
Other runners up were: Balls Froze To Leg Point Whatsthe Point Point In Any Direction And It's Warmer Than Here |

You mean parts of the DEW Line still exist?
I had a friend who was stationed at one during the '60s. He said he'd been up there so long that reindeer asses started looking pretty good.

I remember the pics of the crashed cargo planes, the radar domes and the snow. Be safe up there. |
