Going the Distance

“Well, it's over. Three and a half years of hard work and here's a ceremony to show for it.

Going the Distance

I really had to kick butt in the last two months! They really make you work for this thing.

You'll notice that I'm sporting my X-LANDER Suunto watch (in case I had to take a bearing, or get an altitude or barometer reading).”

“Congratulations, tekapo, and nice job with the website!”

“Congradulations!

“Congratulations! Now that its done, what will you do with all that spare time? Maybe hike?

We'll miss you on the JMT.”

“Ha! Hike? Ms Tekapo seems to think that in a few months I'll be going after that Ph.D. I r e a l l y don't think so.

Although, Dr. Tekapo sounds kind of nice. :P

Nine weeks of vacation time and many trip reports to come (if the body holds up).”

“Sounds like a great TV show.

Dr. Tekapo- Hikeologist”

“KIDD- is that you? Congrats!”

“Yessir! Been buried in books, but now I'm a free man.

Howya been?”

“very nice Tekapo! you done good!”

“Great! Have not worked in over a year and hikin all over the place! Your hair threw me, looks different. Now you and the Mrs, can climb halfdome together!”

“You must have lots of stories to tell.

Hey, that's a book you know! There's a gold mine somewhere in those trips. Maybe a coffee table book, or two.”
