Did you think I really died? Actually, the Yeti and family just returned from a 5 day stint in Liberty Lake, Washington (right near the Idaho / Washington border). Nice views, huh?

We visited some people there who were interested in learning about yak herding. I happen to be a self-proclaimed North American expert on these hairy bovines so I thought I would inspire them to take part in cross-cultural animal husbandry.

I’m not sure if I succeeded in persuading them, but Anna appreciated the paddle-boats at least.  I also hung out with a really cool guy named Clint.

(Clint, if you ever venture online, I wanted you to know that this life you’ve chosen recently is the best one to live.  You have chosen wisely young Skywalker!  I look forward to hearing about your adventure in faith.  You are in my prayers, brother.  Run hard!)
