Hey! What a brilliant idea.

The couple you gave cKenny to is my uncle and aunt. I took him over after or rafting trip. Handover was in Lewiston, Idaho. I will remind them to send the pics, since there is a cute pic of the actual handover at the airport!

We rafted 5 days on the Snake river, winding our way through parts of Idaho, Montana and Washington states. I then flew with him to Seattle for a 9 hour layover, during which I visited the city. I the flew back to New York State, where I have him now. I figure I may hold on to him a little while since I am a South African in the USA for a year (intern visa), working in Schenectady, NY, involved in environmental remediation of a chemically contaminated site. I plan to travel while here until Feb2009, and will love to have him as a travel buddy.

Thereafter I willl find a suitable adoptive parent to give him to!

Attached are 3 pics
First is from the top of the space needle in Seattle, at sunset. In the background is the seattle skyline and Mount Rainier.
Second is rafting the snake river (if you look VERY closely, he is strapped to the white cooler box in the center of the raft (to be safe, AND get a view). He is with my aunt and uncle in that pic. He is SOMEWHERE between Lewiston and Boise in that pic!
Third is at the road sign to Rumney, NH. He joined me at the Nor'easter festival in the town. It was a rock climbing and music festival. He didnt climb, but watched the activity from the safety of a backpack!

Will keep you posted
Doug
