I just thought the first one a was wee bit too squat. A little taller yeilds better interior room (critical for three four people) for the same floor plan and sheds snow/rain/hail/marmots better.

Of course too tall could be problem with wind. I think I hit a good in between balance.

I haven't had a chance to get through everything, but this:

"A pizza fell out of the sky for us "

…made me laugh

It has been a while since erin and Hig have had an audio update posted. That is in part because I was away backing in Scotland (taking part in The Great Outdoor Challenge, 2008 – some of you may already have known that) and because we had a technical snag that has now been resolved. Suffice it to say they'll have plenty to talk about in future updates.

It appears that the epic trek to the Aleutians has ended. Congratulations and infinite reverence to the driven, visionary couple. I don't think Mary and Joseph could have pulled this one off. And they're with child? Hm…

Welcome back, Erin,

Thanks for your regular expedition updates. I found great pleasure in your written accounts, photographs, and in the end, the trip's safe conclusion.

What do you all find exciting these wilderness less days?

Resurrecting this thread to pass on the announcement of Erin and Hig’s film from their trip being aired at the Anchorage Film Festival in December.

This link connects with the short preview

They haven’t sat still since finishing their trip in 2008. Erin’s book came out last year and they visited us here in Juneau on the book tour. I last saw them in Kotzebue this past August as they were starting a month-long walk along the northwest arctic coast with their 18 month old son. Oh, Erin was five months pregnant. Tough and wonderful people.
