Our exploits on the Columbia River have really made the local news. Local communities in the Entiat and Wenatchee area are really showing up wonderful hospitality. Last night here in Wenatchee, they laid on supper of pulled pork (yum!), chicken, potato, salad, etc AND a old time string band concert, and swag for the brigaders.
AND we have made the local newspaper, the Wenatchee World. see http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2011/jun/25/brigade-travels-in-explorers-wake/ for the article--and look for more on the side bar.
We've been very busy with 5 am wakeups, on the water by 7 or so. Arrival ceremonies and canoe maneuvers, then parade up to the stage, accompanied by our own bagpipers. Lots of pagentry.
Today is a day off, so we are doing laundry, and going to the local museum with its new exhibit on David Thompson. They are opening it for an hour, on their usual day off.
