Pictures from Bandy's camera





That (Bandy/Bander) is our family nick name for lander. I guess Charlie made it up? I don't know where it came from. She mailed the camera back to mom and dad because it was too heavy. So now we can all see a little bit of life through her lense.
Obviously these are from when she took a week off to sail... This is Jill's brother. We will just call him Pete. I can't remember his name. He took the girls in on his boat and treated them well. The Atkinson's are forever grateful for Jill and her family. Thank you pete for taken care of our bandy.

700 Miles!

Sierras, here I come! I walked into Kennedy Meadows 6/21 at 3:00pm and it feels GREAT. I visited Lake Isabella and had 50 miles until I got into KM. I did 3o miles one day and 20 the next. My legs and feet are extremely sore, but I'm taking a zero day and hope to feel 100% before I go into the Sierras.
My appetite is unsatisfiable. The first day in Lake Isabella I ate a bacon cheddar burger, double chocolate milkshake, a burger king whopper and chicken sandwich. The second day I ate a foot-long meatball sub from subway, medium fries, two double chocolate cookies, two pizza slices, bread sticks, and a chili hot dog with cheese (not to mention m&ms, even though I just mentioned them).
I could have eaten more...

Supposedly, in the Sierras, people are eating double what they normaly eat. So, I am going to have to pack more and carry some more food weight. Yum Yum Eat'em Up.

I MISS EVERYONE
