      <image:caption>Another morning shared with great company and good conversation. Jen’s been by my side for many days now. Thanks for making the trip, pacing me, cheering me up, cooking meals, setting things up, and all the things, Jen! …and thank you Mike and the rest of the fam for blessing us with Jen on this adventure! Jen and Mike are both training to run their own 200-mile ultramarathons in the mountains this summer! Ya - that’s like 320+ km - and it’s not a relay - they’re both going to run the whole thing!</image:caption>

We’ll miss you, Matt…thanks so much for coming and for all you’ve done for this project! Matthew is a wildlife Biologist who is extremely attentive to details, well organized, and super knowledgeable about these roads and the ecosystems. The dude can literally hear a bird, stop mid-conversation, and tell you what it is…and maybe even it’s approximate age!</image:caption>
