Here's the crew just before boarding our flight out of Boston. We made it on to the plane and all the way to Newark, where we've got a layover before the flight to New Orleans. It's looking like there is a lot we'll be playing by ear as we make our way through the week. We're all in the slow process of letting go of the rest of life to arrive at our destination: remembering things that should have gone in the mail, tv shows that needed to be dv-r'ed, things we meant to pack and didn't. By the time we arrive in New Orleans, we will have made our peace with it, and will be ready to face the next challenge: making the journey to Kiln, Mississippi in our rental vans.

Our final destination in Camp Coastal Outpost: www.campcoastaloutpost.org

We're only a third of the way there, Christa points out, and all is well so far!
