I'm pretty sure you were out of range of any WiFi in the Alvord Peter. I wouldn't feel too bad about missing the thread.

Yeah, makes the 11 day Steens trip look short, eh? The thing that impresses me is that their daughter is only 3. Nate, Jen, and Wendy are a great family. They are the ones that organized the Okanogan trip earlier in the year. I hope more of you get to meet them sometime. Thank goodness they have Buzz Lightyear onboard for navigation. If not, one might think they were lost given the locations they are sending up. Craig
