James' School Work

Sara let you know what she is up to in school. Now it's my turn to inform you. The picture above is an old irrigation diversion on the Lower Jefferson River, near Whitehall, Montana. This is about 40 min west of Bozeman. The details of the thing are long and boring but the basic idea is that it isn't getting the job done. A group of four of us did preliminary design for a new boulder drop structure, sediment load transport and bank stabilization. I think it ended up turning out pretty good. I learned a lot in the process at least. I think next semester we do a complete set of construction drawings for the same project with a new group (thank God!).

Other than school work, I am just doing a lot of biking. Many of the trails around town are to wet to ride but I have my secret places.

So the Europe trip. If any of you have suggestions of cool places to go, let us know. We know what cities and towns we will be going to, but specifics are going to be decided on the fly.

Hey James, Looks and sounds very interesting. You are bound to do great things with your life (as you have already been doing.) I look forward to seeing you and Sara in August. Then you will have to show me all the details.

Hey Kids, Welcome to London! I have just spent a good half hour writing sentimental stuff....but decided to delete all that. (I'm sure you're both grateful) You have left NYC about an hour ago and shoud arrive in EU in about 7 hrs. I hope you both can get some sleep in transit. I can't wait to find some word on your blog. Love you both!!!! MomA
