This video is of Chief Builder Christopher "Billy" Knox as he explains the travel plan to get from Misawa, located on Japan's Honshu Island, to Sapporo, located on Japan's Hokkaido Island.  Knox is driving the Navy Misawa Snow Sculpture Team to the 63rd Annual Sapporo Snow Festival in the "Snowflake 3000," their all-purpose Snow Sculpting Transport Vehicle (SSTV) .  Knox and his team, known as the "Sapporo Six," will attempt to create a snow sculpture bust of the famous "Lone Sailor" monument.  They have less than a week to travel to Sapporo and create this ambitious design before the festival opens.
