Thomas drove me to Rangely and as we drove down to Stratton we started looking for Gil. He beat us to Stratton. The Dr. said he has an inner ear infection and gave him a prescription. She said he is in good shape but told him to go back on his meds. He weighs 190 pounds which makes a loss of 27 pounds. He weighed 217 when he started. He said the trip was harder than he thought it would be but he looks and feels good. We are going to spend Friday and Sat. night here to do his laundry and give him a rest. I will be heading back home Sunday AM. Gil has a lot of stories about his trip that he hasn't told me because he doesn't want to use his minutes on the phone. When he gets home we will be doing a wrapup of the entire trip, i.e. he capsized more than once and saw many animals.
