Matt's First Bush Travel

Matt has received his first bush travel assignment!

For those of you who don't know, the main reason we're moving way up there is because Matt got offered this awesome job with the state of Alaska. He will be working for their Village Safe Water program where her will be helping to facilitate (get grants, oversee projects) sanitary systems for the rural and native villages in Alaska (man, I hope I got that right!). He gets assigned specific villages to work with, and has to travel about 1-2 times a month coordinating various aspects of the projects.

His first village: Emmonak. He leaves Monday and gets back on Wednesday. I can't wait to report how it goes!

Here is a link to a zoomed-in view of Emmonak:

It looks like it's right at the fork of two rivers.

Below is a map so you can see where it is. The red "A" = Emmonak.
