Hi Cristina, Loved the story about the marathon. Sorry to hear it wasn't real gold, though! Are you sure the bite test is 100% :)! Also, good thing you mentioned in the one journal that you'd rather be freezing cold than have the mosquitoes...I can see by the July snow that you've got a real command of the weather!! Keep having fun and sharing your stories! From fellow PolarTRECer Susan Steiner
