Clear skies and sunshine were the perfect window for the air drop of supplies we received yesterday morning. Three bags of food (butter, cheese, chocolate, and beef), tire chains, and wood screws landed in the meadow at 120 mph. It all made for an exciting Saturday morning in Jawbone. Here are a few pics of the aftermath...#1) Kaola and George before take off #2) Adam reaching to touch the tire chains which went 5-6 feet into the snow; #3) The tire chains that almost landed in the creek - thanks to the streamers we found them! #4) Joe confirming that the plane was safely on the ground after the drops #5) Adam and the loot - butter sandwiches for all.
Thanks so much to George for piloting the plane,
Kaola for launching the bags out of the plane with accuracy,
and Tom for gathering all of the supplies for us and getting us
some nice discounts in the process.
We are going to do the 10 mile snow shoe outta here next Wednesday - and will be in Portland until about Saturday the 23rd, then heading up to the mountain for a few days before heading back into the bone.
Sunny skies again today - and it is beautiful here in paradise today. Miss you and love you all - hope to see you soon!

Say whaat?! I can't believe you shaved. I almost fell out of my chair at work. You look younger than me!
It's always good to see you in your element and doing what you love!
Miss you both oodles - give Murphy a pat for me!
Hehe, beardless Joe...I can dig it.
Seriously great site though, guys. From behind my sheltered eyes of the suburbs in CNY, it's like looking through a portal to another land.
P.S. thanks for the e-mail joe, I'm wrappin' my head around the explosion of music and artists that you layed down :)
