I feel your pain
Since I know you both as optimists, I can see where you minimized the pain and freezing, fear, lack of sleep, while also embracing the fact that you not only made it through- but found the beauty in the experience! Write on!

Wow....
You are a regular out there- I am QUITE impressed with you outdoorsy sense of self and awareness. I don't think I could do what you do! I last in CO a total of 8 months before I was like no way---TOO COLD! And look at your- all camoed up and winging it. If Caitlyn can do it- so can I!

Looks like an adveture to me
Seems like a great adventure to me. The rivers are really low out here in South West Alaska so I would assume it is similiar up there. You will just have to try another trip now........However, try stay dry. Hope you learned a lot.

That's it.
I have to see you! This looks like fun- I can't say that I'm one to throw myself to the wind concerning the wild outdoors but I'm telling you- I'd try it with you. :) P.S. Let me look at those teaching jobs again.

Bend for fun
Sounds like there was no need for paddles but then you couldn't have picked a nicer weekend for this outing. Thank you for sharing your experience with me as I bypassed my usual morning serving of cereal to enjoy your fun filled lilly twisted deep in mud world. I think I'll keep to my city street running as there's no speeding up with a canoe on my back.

I can feel the cold, hear the wind, and my muscles are tightening against the strain. What a wonderful experience Bekah! I hope to get there one day... Diane

Say Brrrrr
Nice read. The visualization of the ice chunks hitting the canoe makes it very real. 20 years from now those details would be gone, it is nice to write them down.

Fascinating
I throroughly enjoyed you account of your trip to North Korea. It was beautifully descriptive. I was googling North Korea today after I heard about N. Korea's recent satellite rocket launch when I happened to come upon your piece. It is very interesting !

Bear Bells
These are actually just bells that people carry so that they can make enough noise so bears hear them comming. Any bells would do just fine, but therer is a market up here for "Bear Bells."

Bear Bells
I have never heard of bear bells. Sounds a little like Hell's Bells. It was not clear to me if they are actually needed or just a tourist thing.

Hey baby . .
Rebekah . . .I had forgotten your gift in expressing yourself in your writings . . . . you are AMAZING!!!! I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished, and this inner strength that just won't settle for anything less . . . and if you do, it doesn't last long. The way you write about Alaska, describing the scenery, seasons and emotions connected to it all truly give me a glimpse of more than just knowledge . . . I can FEEL it. You go girl . . . you are my inspiration. I love you . . . Mom
