Hey steve how long have you been doing this thing, do you enjoy it like you thought you would?

Hi April!

This is the first time I've done this type of project, if that's what you're asking. If you are talking about how long this particular project has been going on, I started the actual trip on June 11th, but preparations started well before that.

I knew I was going to enjoy this experience, so it's it's hard to believe everything I am getting out of this project has gone well beyond my expectations! Even with a few set-backs such as getting stuck in the ice and having to change our original path, what I hope I've expressed in my journal entries is that what you get out of something has a lot to do with your attitude.

When you are presented with problems or changes, you can either let that get you down and make you unhappy, or you can take a positive attitude and see what you can make out of the situation. Often, what ends up happening are a lot of rich experiences you wouldn't have had if the plan had gone as originally intended. I will explain some of this more in my later journal entries, but the bottom line is I'm having a blast!

Thanks for the question!

S.Marshall
