For those who have been faithfully following my blog (haha, inside joke- I know from the stats that nobody is following), I want to apologize for the year long- wait, two year long, sabbatical I’ve taken from writing. It’s hard to say why I stopped… The best I can do to try to explain is that enough time had went by that I had a lot to catch up on and was feeling a little overwhelmed by the task of updating. As time went on the project of “catching up” kept building and building. Soon I convinced myself that it was such a daunting task that I would just neglect the whole dang thing. Anyway, I’ve recently made some new goals in my life and have decided to put more effort into the things that I am passionate about- and writing is one of those things. I didn’t even know where to start since I’m so out of date so I decided to pick up at the beginning of the 2011 fire season. I may fill in 2010 at some point later but I’m having computer issues and don’t have access to most of my photos from last year anyway. So, here we go.
Bjorn,
Were you at Wally’s retirement party? I was going to look for you there, but forgot while seeing old bros and Alli.
Hey man, great blog, just figured I’d leave my mark. I’m a college student that may just be a smokejumper in the future. Your blog has really helped me get an idea of just what sort of life a smokejumper could have. Thanks!
Hey, yeah I was at Wally’s party. There were a lot of old bros there for sure- great times!
