Leaving for Gustavus

Well, I've been in Haines for all of 3 days now and tomorrow I shove off! Tomorrow morning, my co-instructor Ted and I, are flying over to Gustavus, Alaska to start a 12 day Sea Kayaking trip. AMG recently established a basecamp down in Gustavus, so Ted and I will be packing our trip out from there. The trip doesn't offically start until Sunday, but we will take tomorrow and Saturday to pack and get oriented to the area and do all the final trip plans.

And then we head to Glacier Bay National Park!

Currently AMG has a group permit to be able to run commerical trips in Glacier Bay, so this is an amazing opportunity to get to go in with them and get to use this area as a classroom.

Also in news: My cell phone works in Haines! woot!

The calendar for the coming weeks is slightly chaotic. I leave tomorrow, for a trip that starts on the 13th, and I'll fly back to Haines on the 25th. Then on the 27th, I leave for a 24 day Mountaineering/Sea Kayaking Course. Should be interesting.

People keep popping in and out of the office and I still need to get home and get some packing done! I'll check in again when I'm back from Glacier Bay!!

Hi Rachel:

We missed you at the lake the past few weekends. Sounds like you are having some fun. Toby is growing up really fast. Enjoy the summer. Life is too short.
