Hard to capture the immensity!
3 weeks agoI like your nudge word.
Before retiring, I had an automatic email signature that ended in:
"Persistence and determination outweigh talent and genius"
Persevere seems to catch that well. I approve! (as if my opinion was worth a pebble in your hiking boot)
I'm here, but a bit tardy.
Not often I "like" photos, but maybe if I find time I can go back and scroll through for some special ones.
Sometimes it is fun to sit and watch... Sometimes I just miss the boat for a few days. I know there are some fairly astute naturalists on CB too, and as I age, it is good to let others take over what has been a fun diversion for me...
Keep up the good work folks!
I'm thankful you two are turning the page on this frightening chapter. Team Anderson will ride again!
3 weeks agoYup. Just hanging out, waiting for you and Barry to dig yourselves out of your historic snowstorm and show up too.
3 weeks agoYay, you're back in the saddle again. I'm happy for you and for Roddy.
3 weeks agoI have a cousin named Michael but I don’t think he’s the one you know. He’s lived in Prince George, BC, since about 1970 and I doubt he’s ever been to Hornby Island.
Gaudet is an Acadian name and most of us are descended from one family that emigrated from France in the early 1600s. As you probably know, the Acadians were later evicted from their colony in 1755. My ancestors then settled on Prince Edward Island and others went to Louisiana (the Cajuns). There are many more Acadian descendants back east than here in the west.
Excuse me for butting in Jacquie, but I was reading Scott's latest Journal entry when I spotted your name AND the fact that you mentioned Hornby Island which pinpointed BC to me. Gaudet is not a real common name to us here in the US, so I could not help but wonder if you might be related to one of my favorite couples Pat O'Brien and Michael Gaudet. If so maybe you would like to drop me a line at cjink@comcast.net. I am Carol Jo Horn (once upon a time Anderson... WAY back). Cycle on.
3 weeks agoI'd hate to go the whole year with a nudge word like 'clammy'. But when you re-enter the Great Divide Trail this spring you could tell everyone you meet your nudge word is clammy. Just be prepared to take a photo of their reaction immediately after. Could be a fun project.
3 weeks agoYes, that's the sort of airport it is now. Plus, Portland made a rule that the food vendors at the airport cannot price their food higher than their other outlets. All locally owned food vendors too, not big chains.
3 weeks agoThere was a big fence around the big rock but funny you should mention it because I think I may have peed on George Lucas' ranch near to where that shadow shot was.
3 weeks agoThat's true. It's not at all like the handoffs you partake in.
3 weeks agoYes, it does feel a bit foreboding. I think it's because of the color of the sky and not the fact that the last three elk on the planet are about to be electrocuted.

Not a hope in a hot place!!!! The acquisition that is. The bird is already ours.
