When we reached Jamie and Hanni’s truck we all set the tools down. We helped pack it all up before continuing down the mountain. As we walked through the meadows and forest we had walked through that morning, I felt ready to go and do whatever we needed to do. (I wish I had felt the same way that night. LOL)
After we reached the van, everyone put their stuff away in their backpacks. I pulled out my bag or writing supplies – I was going to write some postcards in the car.
I climbed into the car and took the seat I liked. Everyone settled in around me, talking and laughing about the things that had happened. Like the time Maggie’s hard hat went rolling down the mountain and she had to go get it. And the time Bruce and Luke almost flattened me with a rock.
When I pulled out my writing things everyone realized that we were going to be able to send letters at resupply.
“Jen, I forget to grab my postcards. Can I get them before we leave?”
“Oh, if she’s going to get hers, can I grab mine?”
“Katie, do you have any pens? I forgot to grab mine and I don’t want to have to find them – my backpack is in the back of the trailer.”
Almost everyone went to the trailer to get their letter/postcard writing things. I gave two people my extra pens – I didn’t need them, and they could use them.
At the end of my postcard to the family, I put a couple of words that I hoped would help them find the pictures of me on the river. When I got home, I saw that Dad had sent the following email to all of my family.
We got a postcard from Brett that gave some clues at the bottom: tuckshot.com aug 2nd red canoe orange PFD. We pieced it together and got to see her in action before she comes home! Here’s the shortcut: Go to http://www.backprint.com/view_event_photos.asp?PID=bp%1B~Ot&EVENTID=105598&PWD= Below the orange “add to cart” button is a line of white boxes. You want that line to read: “- All Categories – – All Sub Categories – Start with photo 133 and show 3 photos.” Then click Refresh. Three photos should pop up and if you click on them they will enlarge so you can see Brett in the front of the canoe looking very serious about getting through the rocks and whitewater. We will be picking them up in just a few days! Jim(I included that so y’all could see them too. :))
