… free one. It was about Death Valley and was named "Death Valley land of Contrast." Kent Durden the guy who filmed and produced it was here. He had to narrate. I never really knew what Death Valley was like. I didn't know hardly anything about it. Death Valley is like a whole nother world. There is a pine tree there (I think it is called a brush cone pine, something like that) that is the oldest living thing on the earth - up to 4,000 yrs old. There are some species of animals especially in the pools of water or small ponds or lakes in Death Valley that are unique to that one pool of water - they are to be found no where else in the world. Things are going pretty good here, I hope they're o…

… high. But there was a bigger valley for us to camp in so we moved on. It was a big wide wide valley where some pioneers had tried to homestead but quit when one of their men got mauled by a grizzly in his trap. The marker was there. The empty wooden buildings were there. The rusty equipment was there. And there was a wide shallow stream in the valley that gave up about forty pounds of trout when the ranglers & kids went fishing! Supper! We each had 3 or 4 good sized fish a piece! Next day they couldn't catch anything. Either they'd gotten 'em all or the word got around in the water. We were low on supplies & so we took a trip to Cooke City on the border of Yellowstone. We window shopped in…

…e it up the hill at Wakefield Valley. The new road had not been built back then. So we got home! No Mac! Couple hours later here comes Bob's cab with Mac in it! He had ridden into town with one o' the fellas to look for me. Bob's place of work was not at all cooperative in helping him find Bob - so it wasn't 'til the next morning he found Bob and I'd already left. Ho hum! The story of our lives - if I'm in one place, Mac's in another & vice versa - we never quite got it together. Maybe in our old age! Seems to be. Back to Accokeek - Joan went to second grade, nope, third grade. Bill's birthday in February put him a year behind and he didn't start school 'til we got to Friendship. Mac hurt h…

… I went for a walk across the valley, which was grassy, to the other side of our camp. I noticed a grass that was round & in sections. I pulled the sections apart & blew into one of them & out came a shrill whistle. Hey! That's nice - then I heard a whistle off in the distance. I blew again, & again an answer a bit closer. Again I blew & again the answer was closer yet. I blew one last time & this time the whistle was off in the distance. When I got back to the camp & told the rangler, he said I was bugling with an elk probably & when he saw I wasn't another elk he took off. This is where I saw a moose too. He wasn't very far away either, but in the brush creaking thru it & luckily the wind…

I did a little better in the two mile too (the time was still over 11 mins though). Box 513 is right. There have been no complaints from the mail room. (I know its right anyway). I missed the Bermuda lecture last week because of track and the same thing will happen tomorrow. Dr. Sherbine says to get the notes from someone and that he has some handouts to give me. My leg hasn't been going to sleep lately when I run. I'm glad Tzu is doing okay. I relax pretty good now when eating. I go to eat when …

…kinson with them and Delaware Valley. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner if you had wanted to come up (starting 1:30 pm). I know (pretty sure anyway) this won't get there before Sat. or in time for you to decide. I'll see you Wed. anyway, right? So Bill isn't out I hope he changes his mind. But, I guess he's doing what he feels is right or what he can handle. No major injuries. My foot almost went to sleep once. I just picked up my pace and it came back (something to do with practicing on my own-all (some) in my head). love, Mike.
