Jack's Japanese packet arrived from BYU while we were in our trip to Garnet Ledge. He'a been anxiously awaiting its arrival so I decided to give him the day off so that he could dig into it. The coursework packet consists of a language disc, which allows you to hear the pronunciations by a native speaker, and a companion text which incorporates the disc recordings into the curriculum.

While Jack worked on schoolwork, I made the rounds on the main road into the forest. I cut brush at the Anita Bay overlook and at the Earl West landing, repaired the siding on a building at the Yunshooka area and split some of the logs left at the Lower Salamander area.

I invited roughly ten tourists to the potluck tomorrow night and got a very enthusiastic acceptance from all. I'm hoping for a good turnout with some new faces.

Jack and I drove into town to resupply at the USFS and at the local grocery and then headed back out for another relaxing evening at Nemo Point.

Bob called later in the evening to reschedule a fishing trip that we had planned for the morning as the wet weather has returned with a vengeance and the morning forecast called for miserable conditions.
