Leslie Burgin:  The barge arrived this morning, which we were all excited, everybody came running.

Tim Wilcox:  We left Nanana which is about 170 miles up river from here, up the Tanana river and it was for the most part as per normal.  There's a difficult crossing just a few miles away from here.  These barges are multi-purpose, they hold fuel on the inside and they have flat  tops for cargo on top.  Here on the river it's a little different because there's no navigational aids so we always have to send a pilot boat out in front of us to go and find the channel, the channel always moves.  And so quite often we'll go down river on one channel, and when we come back we find that the channel has shifted.  Just about anything you can imagine anybody would need anywhere we can transport.

Leslie Burgin:  They're offloading everything off to my left in two different spots to the high water mark that gets us off to where we can pick up from there.  They've offloaded insulation, I've got 700 pounds of propane, we've got water, we've got tarps, plywood, doors, hangers, nails, screws, tools, compressors, fuel, basically everything that we need to rebuild here.  Pretty much a lot of the villagers have already passed by, the native community, and taken a look and seen what's here, what's being offloaded, they're just as excited they've already approached some of the staff and asked, 'Oh, when are we getting started'?  They did a lot of prep-work before the barge, with anticipation of the barge, as soon as it'd get here we'd have material to rebuild but they've already started their prep work so they're already ahead of the game here.
