Well, I finally made it to Prudhoe Bay at about 5:00 p.m. (Alaska Time) yesterday. The volcano blew again at about the same time as our flight left Anchorage but it didn't cause a problem for us. Unfortunately, inbound planes were turned away.

The plane my alternate (we share jobs) was on, was turned around and landed in Fairbanks. They spend the night there in a hotel. Since the volcano is still going off, they have hired busses to get them home.

Sure hope it subsides before I'm scheduled to fly home (April 9th).
