I made it to Seattle.  It is sunny and beautiful and I got to go to the giant REI.  I am helping orgainize but there really isn't  much to do.  i did find out however that the plan has changed and we are no longer going to Bering island but to the Kamchatskiy Penninsula and getting dropped off by helocopter and  backpacking for a few weeks.  Maybe.  i guess i will find everything out when I get there.  Not much else new.  just waiting and wondering what exactly is going on.
Love to all
