Catching up with a few thousand words...

One editorial note: I converted the times to Kuwait time so, if Jonathan posts, it's 8 hours behind.  I accidentally had it set for California...11 hours behind my time now.

 where it all started in California...

 abode #1: the SEA hut and Jessie!

 the hills of CA

 daily hike up the mud trails with Jessie

 heavy stuff

 MRE: meatloaf, enchillada, or chilli mac?

 on the range: ponytail allowed due to helmet limiting my head's range of motion; you try.

 last meal out with the girls

 Jessie and me, soaked to the bone!

 Leg one of the trip

 We called it a "wigwam"...we didn't know the real name

 saying goodbye to Jessie, for now (meet Ingrid, the camel...goes with Humphry, the other camel)

 the tent

the cubicle

And now you're caught up.
