It's August 6th and the Travel Blog site has been down for a while. All of our previous blog entries were lost, however, I have recovered and re-published the last two of them. If you notice breaks in the text or photos, it's due to the restoration process. This next entry was to have been posted yesterday. Now that Travelblog is restored, here goes... 8/4 Here I sit in the misty pacific morn... Read Full Entry

Great to see you folks!
Thanks a million for helping me gulp down some smog-free air and gin-and-tonics with fresh juniper berries right off the tree! What a delight to hang out with a family that's halfway through a marathon summer vacation who ... like each other!! I had a terrific time talking to Bowen around the campfire, seeing Kate create neat drawings under the juniper trees, and watching the truly precision drill that is a Bill and Dana camp take-down. Love you all.

I like the beard! At the moment, the thought of 55 degree foggy San Francisco weather sounds like heaven! Chengdu (Sichuan Province) is hot and muggy in August. Your evening with Jill must have been complete fun and jolity. Hi Jill!

the great adventurers' return
5 am and i just caught up on your adventures, from scary rapids stories to cool granite and clear water on busy, battered feet. the bit about errors in the carbon 14 dating process were really interesting, especially the bit about european artifacts determined to be over 1000 years older than previously thought! what does that mean? a european presence or trading making its' way north from the lower americas? i am fascinated by this, as it blows all i know about europeans in the west out of the park. i have loved the photos and entries written in different voices making a fun mix on pov. have a safe trip home, and enjoy the beautiful northwest coast and cooler temperatures! xo, karen

What an adventure!
Your writing makes me feel like I am almost there with you - except I probably don't ache as much!! Loved Kate's tale of the river rafting trip. And the photos are fab-u-lous!! Enjoy the last few days of your adventure!
