It's been awhile, and I have more thoughts and stories from AK which are forthcoming. But for now i'm just letting you all know i'm still alive and kicking, no bears got their paws on me and i'm back in the lower 48! (i left AK on the 1st of July but have been busy / lazy and haven't taken the time to create this post, I figure it's past due)
I'm in Portland, OR...Hillsboro actually. I've decided to call this home for a bit, I rented an apartment here, so i guess i'll be growing some roots at least until the early part of 08...that by the way is really weird to write, the whole 2008 thing.
Anyway, I have decided to actively pursue a job, possibly leading to career in the outdoor guiding arena. I'm currently in the process of narrowing down some schools and parts of the world where I want to participate in an outdoor semester. Basically a series of expeditions covering a variety of outdoor topics. So far i've narrowed the regions down to the US Southwest (they cover caving, which is of great interest to me), the Pacific NW (easy, cause i'm here) and New Zealand (which is on my travel radar to begin with, but the added cost of the course and travel expenses may be more than i'm willing to part with)
Well, that's briefly what's going on with me right now.
I have a much more detailed post coming soon, keep an eye out for it.
I'll be heading back down to TX around the end of August to visit and grab some of my stuff...hope to see you then!
