[RC] PAC from LH -
The weather here sure has changed!! We were suffering from the high heat a few
days ago and now we are bundled up!! It has snowed on the mountain in the high
elevations, and rained down here at 2-3000 feet. I am sure the park service is
thrilled, but it is a little wet and cold for camping! Stagg Newman in shorts,
high socks, boots and and winter hat is a sight....
The east team is all assembled and getting shoes and equipment squared away.
We all treked over to the main camp last night and had a great party hosted by
Pacific North. The food was outstanding, the wine and margaritas flowed freely
and a good time was had. It was very nice of them to do that- and it was great
to see others from other regions in such an informal and uncompetitive setting!
Tonight the east team is having a ritual bonding in their traditional Yankee
swap. I made a rock and pine cone sculpture as my contribution. You aren't
neccesarily supposed to tell anyone what you bring, but I figure my secret is
safe with RIdecamp- ha!!
My husband is arriving tomorrow....I can hardly wait - I was in Spain for WEG
for 10 days last year - the longest we had been apart in 12 years, but we have
been gone from home two and a half weeks now....
I am still in Mel Sherman's living room to do my reports to you. The window I
am in looks out toward the mountain and also takes in the field next door that
will be our 5th and 6th vet checks. I am hoping to run over and make a report
as soon as Cia leaves the fifth check.
Later-
