Hello, Everyone!
Yes! I am alive, the illustrious town of Thorne Bay, AK (pop. 400) doesn't have much for internet access. So, now I am about an hour away in Craig, AK for Forest Service training and on a break so I walked on over to the library (which isn't a trailer like in Thorne Bay!). Anywho, all is well. I've been in the cave four times and totally love my job. Starting on Thursday, I will be living out there in the trailer for five days a week, out of contact. I'll be back on Sundays and Mondays (we have tours on Sat) to do laundry, use phones, and go to the market (which interestingly, only has five aisles! crazy) It's a different world here, everything's slower, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE waves to you as you walk by, and everyone knows who you are and your job before you even tell them. Word spreads fast around here. The rainforest is absolutely beautiful and I've already seen countless bald eagles (they're like seagulls to locals), too many Sitka Black Tailed Deer, and sea otters. My friend is going to take me out on her boat in the upcoming weekend or so to go whale watching. I've went through bear protection training, but unfortunately haven't seen any quite yet. Once the salmon start running, I expect to see them though! I've had the freshest crab on Earth! (straight from the sea water and into the boiling water in my kitchen) So, everything's going well and I'm having a blast!
I hope you all are having wonderful summers and I hope to hear from you soon.
All my love,
Kara
