The environmental team made some cool discoveries while out at Taylor Dome. They were given a treasure map with locations of over 50 fuel drums and several other buried items. They ended up finding an old freezer cave from 1996 buried under 15 feet of snow. It was pretty neat to climb down in there and see all the huge ice crystals. Unfortunately the cheese was badly freezerburned and there was no milk for the corn flakes, the crackers were alright, though.

The next day we cut our way down with chainsaws and pulled the two Air Force pallets off of the roof to be taken back and used in Mactown. Apparently they are worth 2,000 bucks a piece and are in high demand right now.

Earlier in the week they dug down to expose about 30 feet of this 42 foot radio tower. They cut it off and left the rest due to firmly packed ice that just wasn't worth their effort.
