Starting over

After shooting myself in the foot earlier this year and an intense five months of job-seeking, have found myself headed for Alaska...not just any Alaska, but out-in-the-Bering-Sea Alaska.  Job details later. Several trips on a jet plane (and several bush planes; great pilots, didn't need the bags) and now planning my life for the next two years in village of Savoonga, Alaska, population about 400 or so. 


In keeping with tradition of starting blog with new job and new location, will try to post comments and pictures as possible. I understand the internet connection on St. Lawrence Island is unreliable, so we'll see how this goes.  


My last blog was dashed on the rocks when I left my job in mountains of North Georgia; nothing particularly interesting about the job but living in the southern Appalachians in an ancient hemlock forest on a whitewater river (the Cartecay) in a beautiful log cabin was a peak experience - probably up there with my life on Sapelo Island... which is a post for another day.  


for posterity, I'm providing old link to my days in Blackberry Mountain www.cheryl2bears.blogspot.com
