Update
Hey all.
Yesterday the mountain was out for the first time since I've been here (almost a month). I commandeered a government truck and snapped a picture. An hour later, it was behind the clouds again. From where I took the picture, it's about 70 miles away.
Got to see a caribou close up yesterday. I was hiking up the stream bed and he was coming down it. I yielded. Those antlers are big.
Friday I saw a bluegrass band whose banjo player just happened to live down the street from me in Athens (Junior from Slim Pickins). I didn't know he was in the band until I got there. He was glad to see someone there with an OU shirt on.
My camera is dead as a doornail. I ordered a new one yesterday along with a dry bag made for white water rafting. Hopefully you'll see some good shots in a week or so.
Got two helicopter rides this week. Two sound stations were destroyed by bear (apparently they don't mind the electric fence) and one was chewed up by sheep. Looks like I have my work cut out for me...
Hope everyone is having a good summer. Take it easy.

Jared,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It's hard but a part of living that most of us would rather not have to experience.
Sorry to hear about your camera also. I've used Ziploc bags myself for quite a while and I've been lucky so far. I've loved your pictures though so buy something else and keep shooting. I've gotten excited about our trip there in 08 all over again. I may not get there myself so I'm enjoying your pictures of the Alaskan country side.
I'm leaving for Algonquin Provincal Park in Canada for a weeklong canoeing outing with the Troop. Ten boys and five adults. I'm looking forward to it and I need a vacation desparately.
I'll return the 22nd and then entertain Grandma and Grandpa and after that leave for Richardson Texas for a
week long class.
Take care of yourself,
Uncle Steve
