On Hiatus
August 16th, 2009
It’s August 16th and the Family Reunion at Mt. Baker is over. I’ll have a few posts I’ll put together to catch the readership up on that action. But in the meantime, the trip is officially paused. The lovely place that was supposed to have fixed my truck during the last week instead didn’t do anything, so I’m going to get that rectified over the next few days — but as such, it’d be improbable that I could get out of here before the end of this week anyway. Beyond that:
- I might as well use this time to get working on my grad school apps.
- Five days should get me most of the way there, unless I just get lazy.
- But assuming I don’t, I can push the end of the trip out a week.
- And the main problem is that I have to change (or cancel) my Boundary Waters reservation and put up with camping in the Southwest deserts in mid-November.
- Well, not including the other main problem of having to pay a lot of money to get my transmission fixed.
So that’s where we are. Although I might also see how much scalped tickets to the Thursday night Sounders game would cost. I’ll probably put together and post an updated itinerary also in case anyone wants to know.

Sorry to hear about the burnination of your transmission. That sucks, man.
Even sorrier to hear you might have to cancel your camping trip in the BWCA. But, if that means you’ll be down here that much longer, so much
the better.
I’m still kind of hoping I can get another reservation for the week after my originally planned date (although that’d be starting on Labor Day, so it might not work). If I can’t get a permit and a rig, though, I hear it’s worth at least a day hike and that the trails are less busy than the lakes anyway. Mal sehen was wird.
And regards to Hal Brown — I still tell people about playing softball in Vegas.
