From Klamath to Lakeview to Klamath to Aspen Ridge to Klamath.

The group presented to both Klamath's Morning and Lunch-time clubs.

My host family at Klamath was absolutely amazing.... Barry and Holly Card really made me feel like their daughter and I can't thank them enough for their kindness. I was close to Holly's size so she was kind enough to lend me some warm clothes in preparation for my trips to Lakeview and Aspen Ridge.

At Klamath, Nerys and I met with Ryan Pfeil, Herald and News where we visited several volunteer-run organisations. And I was also grateful to meet with Dave Groff, City Attorney where I sat in on one of the Public County Commissioners Meeting. These public meetings take place weekly and are televised live with a repeat in the afternoon. This is to ensure transparency in the decisions that are made.Dave Groff, City Attorney, Klamath County

The team transferred to Lakeview for two days soon after arriving in Klamath. At Lakeview, we presented to their club, caught the view of the city from BlackCap, did a walk-about tour of the town and their geothermal facilities and visited the Lakeview Interagency Office where presentations were made by Rick Newton, (Fremont-Winema National Forests) and Scott (can't remember his last name) of the BLM.



Not too long after returning to Klamath, we drove to Aspen Ridge Resort for our R&R Weekend. There I tried to work on my blog but to no avail. Since my laptop hasn't been picking up wireless internet since leaving Barbados, I haven't been updating as often as I would like. The picture below is not a dramatization. (Do not believe the Bajans...no matter what they say...heheheh)
