[Az-Geocaching] Big Sky

[Brian - Team A.I.]

Scott,

I too have enjoyed the company on the long hikes.  Just about everyone I
know complains that I walk too fast, but it's simply my pace and stride that
pull me away from them.  I'm not sure I'll have an opportunity to crew with
you and head up on a flight before I leave, but I would love the chance if
you come to that country again for the balloon competition, which
coincidentally is about 10 days after I get there.  I'll plan to have a
spare bed ready for any visitors, as I would love the chance to interact on
a direct basis with many of you I've met through Geocaching.  Hopefully, by
that time I will be an experiended Jeep off-roader, to compliment skills
I've developed putting my piddly Nissan pickup through 4x4 country.  Then,
we could hit some serious off-road caches in dark/remote back-country.

Brian
Team A.I.
