I could use my wise women right now. I am living a truly vagabond lifestyle Becky. I would say you would be proud of me, but I'm not sure considering our final decision on the lives of vagabonds. I live in my car. Well I sleep in my tent, but have literally set my car up with clothes in piles and a small kitchen area and everything else stuffed in corners. I have just left the merced river and am heading to the kings. I hope things are a little better over there. There was no real closeness in the guides on the merced. everyone is always running a million different directions. I really want to just get y feet under e and get to know this place, but i can't really do it yet with all the confusion and running around. I am hoping the kings presents a little bit more hope for work. It is still so beautiful around every corner. I drove up into Yosemite yesterday after I got off the river and it is just so amazing. If I do end up working for a while at the Kings I will be sad not to be close to it anymore. However now I will be by Sequoia nat'l forest and get to go see all the big redwoods! Been doing a lot of journaling and learning about myself and being on my own. Maybe not all I thought it would be. I am determined to give this a chance and to have the summer I envisioned. It'll happen, just not as soon as I may have thought.

I miss you all with every moment! You are such great friends, something that becomes very evident when you aren't around. Love you!
