summer in ames: Alaska

Ok everyone... Its time for a shameless plug.

So this summer ISU outdoor rec is sending a trip to go sea kayaking in Alaska for 9 days. Now I have been chosen to be a support leader on this trip (which is basically the coolest thing ever) however we still need people to sign up! The trip goes in late June and what you can expect is transportation to Alaska, all the gear (kayaks, wetsuits, food, tents), our extensive knowledge, and Jerrys wit and humor, all for around $1600. Now that may seem like a lot of money, but if you were to go with a guided group up there, or go alone this trip would be way more expensive. So please, tell your friends/family/assiciates/enemies, consider bribes/blackmail anything to get anyone interested in this trip. You dont need to be a student at ISU to go, or even live in the state (my Dad is going along). Its going to be a ridiculously amazing trip and this is quite an offer so think about it. If you havent ever canoed/kayaked, well you might want to practice before hand, but this would be a great learning experience. The first day we arrive we are getting lessons from a sea kayaking guide then shuttled out on a motorboat to some far away island and returning through the Prince William Sound. To get you even more interested than you already are, I will put many wonderful pictures below. If you sign up, you will be so happy you did, and everyone will love you (not just me, everyone). Plus we can make up some sweet stories about how you had to fight off a killer whale to save my life (serious badass points). And I will make you a batch of cookies (of your choice).
