Frolicking around the Tundra Buggy

Description

Wanted you to see the Tundra Buggy we would go out on the tundra in. We usually left before 8:00 AM and returned about 5:00 PM. We has total unrestricted view without looking through glass. Each photographer had a window on each side that would drop down and we could go out on the back deck as well. It was 29 degrees below zero and winds up to 60 mph some days. We had one heater on board but the inside temp dropped fast when the windows were down to photograph. The bears were not shy, could smell us and would frolic around the Tundra Buggies for us to get nice in the wild capture. If you ever get the chance take it.
