AAAAaand they're OFF!

We registered yesterday, and will be at site #7. Tim's got gloves, Jill *finally* got her chainsaw, and Katie will be joining us Tuesday night.

Somehow, after lots of planning (and continuing through this writing), we've finally survived to our first day. The blocks look thick, and the site is smaller than anticipated (20'x25'). NOW it starts, and you can expect this blog to get terser and somewhat less coherent as the week wears on.

Yesterday was mostly a break, with a trip to Chena Hot springs with other sculptors before we returned to the ice park for final registration and a safety briefing.

Today, if the camera is up and working, expect to see us clearing the area, scraping orange marker off the ice, and then cutting the large blocks of ice for the saguaro and backdrop. Catch all the action HERE: http://icealaska.com/videocam/10Cam/mb10/CAM10mb07.html
The camera will take a new picture every minute or so, so if we've been stationary for a while, refresh the browser.

Deep breath...
