Finally back from my hitch. It was extended two days compliments of Mother Nature by way of Mt. Redoubt which erupted Sunday morning, six hours before I was to board my plane back to Anchorage. All Northbound air traffic was canceled until Tuesday, including flights to Barrow and Nome. My flight was bumped to Wed, which had me driving Turnagain Pass through a nasty blizzard. Fortunately it was still light out or it would have been tough going.
Here is an excellent source for info & images of the Redoubt eruptions: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/Redoubt.php
