Kathleen asked me to keep you all updated on the hunt also, so I'll have some updates all along the way, providing their satellite phone works;)

......I haven't actually left yet...:o:D....- but, we're just hours away from heading up north...

-the biggest challenge has been lining the 5 kids with where they all are going to be staying...

also,Terry has EIGHT family members coming up to stay with us ...they are arriving here at the house a week BEFORE we return...:eek:...oh, my- I think we have everything ready....-LOL- I've been impersonating a wounded minnow, I think, the past couple of days...spinning around in circles...

-What is that one verse from a Beetle song...."Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"...?:D

-Thank you , Leo-

-and I don't know what I would have done, without your and Mary's help that day in Anchorage when I drove you guys up to the airport...

-Helping me with the kids; and with getting that pallet of extra gear shipped off to Jim and his Super cub up north, was more help than you know-

-Yep, he called the day before yesteday...-and said,"no problem Kathleen, I've got it all flown in, and tied 12 feet up in the trees"...

-and I then asked him...-"which tree??"...-LOL

-he got it in there, just before the non-motorized cut-off time period...

-I will be texting Buckee Steve with my updates during the hunt- it is an 18-mile hike in....we start in off the Richardson HWY , along the Gerstle, on Wed....

-my pack is a little heavier in , this time...-but, the logistics with just packing in enough food for the length of time in, was a little trickier this time-

-hopefully we'll be up to an area to make a base camp, and be scouting , by Friday...

-Dall sheep opens officially, on August 10th.....:)

-lots of heavy rains, flooding conditions, up north...-but, fortunately, when I talked with Jim in Delta...-this area was spared the flooding...thank goodness...-the plan is to float out, with the sheep...(I packed a third life vest for him, too.....the sheep, that is..:D)

-Thank you, Steve, for updating for me...

-..."can you hear me now.....??":);)

-God bless, everyone...

-Kathleen
