Thanks for more details, Paul. It would be really nice if you could
transcribe one of your presentations into a web story with photos. Lots of
us would love to take that trip; even vicariously.

I confess to a certain amount of trepidation when thinking about camping in
grizzly country (which is only about 200 miles away, as the grizzly bear
wanders). An RV is not considered enough protection. Apparently an island
isn't either. But the muthah-ship would require a seriously determined bear
unless he can figure out how to climb up the outdrive. Anyway, I don't blame
your significant other for being intimidated by the idea of camping among
them. Not at all.

Glad you survived your vicious winter down there. We had 3-inches of
snowfall last night and I'm thinking about going out and using my
snow-blower on it. You know you live in snow country when you have your own
personal snow-blower. And I have a tractor with a blade on it, too; but
that's too big for where we live now. Handy on the farm though.

Enjoy summer!

Craig
