Hi Karl, I love your journals and your pictures! I am very impressed that you and the team had students out to work with you. I am also impressed with Tia and Jackie braving the bugs and wilderness to join you. My own 16 year old daughter and I enjoyed reading the journal entries they wrote. We just got back a week ago from taking her fellow classmates on a very hot hike and camping in the Grand Canyon.
Enjoy the rest of your time there. Betsy Wilkening PolarTREC 2009 OASIS Project in Barrow, AK

Hi Betsy, thanks for your well wishes. Yes, Jackie and Tia were tough cookies! Jackie caught a 24-inch fish from the river here and reeled it onto the shore with the same ease most teens make a phone call. I think I learned more from them than they did from me.I hope you and your daughter had a great trip in the Grand Canyon. That's such an incredible place! And you've inspired me to read more about Project Oasis.
Enjoy the rest of the summer, take care,
Karl
