First Day Off!!
Well, Gooday mates! Today was my first day off here at Mile 102 Glen Highway; aka MICA Guides. All six of us had the day off and it allowed us all to spend some good old fashioned time together. We got the opportunity to take the "Burb" (suburban) into Palmer. Palmer is about and hour away and has the closest grocery store. We all stocked up on food for the next week and did our laundry. It took all day...Then we stopped down at King's River (KR), where Tina and Don have a beautiful cabin (40 miles from camp). It is also where Exposure guests often stay. I jumped into the Subi (Subaru), the only stick shift vehicle, and took the wheel! About 10 miles away from base, being in idle due to road work, the engine overheated and coolant leaked everywhere causing the engine to smoke. Naturally, I freaked out and pulled to the side of the road. But Phil came to my rescue and made a temporary fix to get it back.

Well, that's a bummer about the overheating. I'm very proud that my stick driving protege made it ten whole miles before any unpleasantness.
