Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

You know it's the "hard knock life" when the most difficult decision when you wake up on your day off is whether to go steelhead fishing on the Salmon River or find fresh stashes of pow at Targhee.

Steelhead Weekend

The sun is never above the horizon when we start the drive toward Salmon, Idaho. However, tired eyes and having to scrape the frost off your front window in the dark is well worth having a few steelhead put a bend in your fly rod.

Ode to Our Orphans

After waiting on the runway for over ten hours while we met with the necessary Haitian officials, the same plane that took us to Haiti was able to leave Haiti with over 5o orphans.

So Damn Lucky

The night we arrived at our camp, we were painted a picture to expect the worst. However, the next morning brought sights, sounds, and smells that I remember five years ago. It seems that Haiti has let the earthquake bury it's dead, and everyday life has continued.

We soon found that our mission had changed, and most of my days were spent in hospitals throughout the capital translating for doctors and nurses.

Within the last month, I'm sure most of you have been exposed to the television coverage of the earthquake. I do not feel the need to share everything I saw, nor did I feel the need to take many photographs.

We are So Damn Lucky.
