Jo Ann, How have you been?? I will be Backpacking in BC most of late July into first part o August this year. I cant make the 85th although I'd love to be there. (somehow I think the Vanderbeck spirits would want me to engage in the outdoot endeavor I have planned). Anymore, concerning our TLN interest, its still about the Vanderbecks of course. However each year it also gets to be about You, Matt, Scott, Russ, Julian, etc., ...wanting to meet you all. You know. I can remember, every time reading the book...wishing someday to meet Jim, Lindsay...anyone. (heck, I would of liked meeting Meader also). Time passes and unfortunately we all got to eventually go where ever it is we go. It has become a heritage of sorts now hasnt it. Its funny, as much as (I will safely assume here) we as a group revel in the wilderness experience and the exciting story of wilderness survival by using (and living in tune) with the land; we have also ONLY been united by the modern invention called the internet. (can you imagine Jim or Lindsay using google earth to chart their traplines ) I cant say what a pleasure it is to be connected with everyone here. ... And Matt...You DA MAN! Thanks for all you do.
