Big Doings, Island Fever, Spring 2007

Winter is over, and spring is definitely blowing up in the Pacific Northwest. Since its been a while since Dan or I posted anything to the blog, here is a quick update about the things that I have going on this spring on Orcas.

Announcement The First: I bought a vehicle. Some said that it was too soon after the Millennium Falcon, but I don't care. I fell in love. Its a 1987 Toyota 4Runner. It smells like mold and sounds like a biplane. See below.



This is the "good" side.









Announcement the Second: I have an article in Paddler Magazine this month. Its about paddling this summer and I'm terribly proud of it. You should look at it. Or email me and I'll send you one of my 50 photocopies. Its on page 30. Good times.

Announcement the Third: There are no rivers on Orcas Island. See below.

Announcement the Fourth:
I've been accepted to graduate school at the University of Montana, in Missoula. This is what I will be doing for the next two years:
Brennan's Wave, Missoula, MT

Announcement the Fifth: Check out this dreamboat.

That's about it from beautiful Orcas Island in Washington's San Juans. I'll be on island through August as the Director of Water Trips here, and then moving to Missoula in mid-August. Toodles!
