Hi Cathy, My studetns and I are excited for your trip, and were wondering what you needed to do to prepare for your time in Alaska. We are also very specificially interested on what you think you will need for over a month away from home? Thanks! Jillian's Class!

Hi Jillian's Class,
Thanks for your question! 
I really don't know exactly what I'll need yet because I haven't had my teleconference with my researchers and the outfitters.  We'll be talking together this Friday, so I should find out everything I need AND I'll find out exactly when I'm going to be in Alaska.  I'm obviously very very excited!  Right now, I'm anticipating needing lots of bug juice, sun screen, a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, Carhart jeans and a sleep mask.  I'm going to bring a tent, even though there are platform tents to sleep in, because I want to sleep out some nights.  It's going to be very strange to have 24 hours of daylight.
I'll post a journal after I have my teleconference and let you know what I find out
