The power was off

The power was off for several hours today. Make that the city power. We were able to turn our generator on and use that to remain semi-functional. Last year I went down into the jungle behind the MAF base and took a picture of the hydro plant set up by Nate Saint back in the '50s. That's Loren in the photo. He was an eighth grader in my class last year. Right now he's on a six month furlough in the US. When he returns he'll attend the Alliance Academy in Quito.

Sandy found a big mud hole on a airstrip today. Looks like he was at the 4 x 4 races. The mud was caked about a half inch thick in a couple places.
