Kurt @cruiseroutfit,

I choose to blame you and not ADHD for the fact that the rest of my work day was spent engrossed in learning about this expedition, and the radar tower they visited, and the DEW line of radar towers to which it belonged, and the crazy insane project it was to build them, and the equally insane off road trains that were built to transport the construction sites. Now I'm off to buy a book about the cold war.

Thanks a lot jerk, this is one of the most fascinating sprees I've been on.

The DEW stations are amazing. I was able to visit and explore a DYE station on our long-axis traverse of Greenland.

I'll share some pics when I'm back around my laptop

I know it isn't but that white 80 looks like they shortened up the frame.

You seem well travelled and fairly knowledgeable about Toyotas. Is that a fair assumption?
