Arnold: I do not know. But the idea was so good that somebody somewhere is making inflatable kayaks, if Sevylor are not. A German firm used to make folding kayaks….

You’ve just got to roll with the punches and try your best to enjoy each year, week, day, or meal if your lucky enough to live that long to have thankfulness of each meal.

Comment on Pennine Way by Mike Jurasius

Ed, what a wonderfully written blog on your adventure hike of Pennine Way! I’m even more inspired to explore all I can by foot or bike. The PCT as you know, is a 2,650 mile committment, excluding the many side excursions into towns along the way to pick up food and supplies. I’m physically and mentally training this year and logistically planning in 2012. I will need to read the many more witty stories of your wanderings. Thanks so much for bringing this story to my attention!
Most Sincerely,
Mike

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the anecdote. I too worked at the Ok Tedi Environment Department Hydrology Group, though somewhat later (between 2004 and 2006). I am currently completing my Masters Degree in British Columbia, and in writing a Project Report for a course I am undertaking, I found your insight into the early experiences fascinating and very informative! Thanks again.

Enjoyed the article Painted Doors/Painted Ladies. Thanks for writing about brothels. I learned about the painted doors. Very educational to say the least. I live in Nevada and close is a brothel http://www.sherisranch.com called Sheri’s Ranch near Las Vegas. I don’t remember what colors the door is painted.
