Just got off the glacier. Too hot at home, so Linda & I came up here to sit on a 1/4-mile of ice... I found out about the well blowout at the base of the glacier last week. No phone service until we got back to my brother's base camp. Only one small detail... NO SPRINT CONNECTION!

Back in Anchorage this evening, FINALLY getting all the details. Steve Kent (Rodger Brogdon's Sponsor) was hired to cap the well, and he informed me that they will give it their best shot early next week.

NO OIL on our track property. Fortunately, we have been getting more than our share of a northerly breeze (sand yes Loretta, the well is a mile south). It appears that the well was being completed after the drilling rig was removed, and the firm experianced a greater than expected well pressure. (THAT MEANS THEY GOT PLENTY OF GAS UNDERGROUND)

We will be back in Louisiana on Friday night and will get a better update on Saturday.
