My Australian "Mates"

These are my new Australian "Mates", Paul (y) and Chappo. I met them skiing at Aleyska and we just hit it off. They run a summer wilderness outreach program for kids and Paul(y) is the director of "Challenge Australia" (only it's called something different. They were on a 3 week skiing "walk a bout" of Alaska. They were also in need of nice shower and a little time out of their RV, so I invited them to stay at my place for a few days...It was awesome! I had a home cooked meal (Australian style) awaiting for me every night.. I really miss these guys. I've been invited to visit them and see how their program is run this August (not sure if I will have the funds but I'd like to try).
