Day 15 – Part 2 – The Gyre Still Turns

In Puerto Rico, our groups are enjoying their penultimate day together in fine form. Mike, Annie and their group are enjoying a final day of hiking in El Yunque. They sent in the first shot of several of their lads taking in the scenery from the Yokahu Tower in the rainforest. Alex, Lidia and Co.

Day 15 – Part 1 – The Gyre Turns

Alright, Dear Reader, we’re officially back in the saddle after yesterday’s egregious neglect of the blog. But — the good news is that two new Cape trips are up and running. And, as one cycle begins, so must another end — so says Basho. Or maybe not. In any case, as the Cape trips are

Day 13 – Time Warp

Does it strike anyone else as baffling that we are just about two full weeks into the season? Perhaps you, Dear Reader, are not keeping track of days passing quite to the extent that we are up here, but we are convinced (convinced, I tell you!) that time has actually accelerated and Einstein’s Theory of

Day 12 – We Caved

Confessions are due, Dear Reader. Apogee, bastion of clean living, sentinel of energy efficiency, bard of green things (I’m running out of ideas here…), has plugged in. The air conditioner is sitting in the window. And you know what? It’s great. It’s wonderful. The collective mood of Apogee Intergalactic Headquarters has up-ticked by at least

Day 11 – The Jungle, and Maine, is Hot.

Man, I don’t know about where you are, Dear Reader, but it is hot up here at Apogee central. Jungle hot. And that, my friends, is not something the little hamlet of Brunswick, Maine is set up to handle very well. Nonetheless, sweat-soaked though we may be up here in our air-conditioning-less office, we will

Day 10 – Candids

Well, then – we (the royal we) are back in the saddle. Freshly full of ribs, corn, watermelon, and a fantastic crab/avocado soup my mom whipped up, I’m ready for another week of blogging the Apogee nation. First — to Montana — our group very much enjoyed a day out of the saddle today. After

The Fourth

Happy Fourth folks. Hoping you’re all enjoying this splendidly hot day (at least it’s hot here in Maine). So our regular wordsmith, Mr. Chad Olcott, is enjoying a day away from the office. Which means you have me…a Geology major…to fill his shoes. So in true science fashion, here’s the data we’ve collected so far.

Day 8 – Time Zones and Lizards

A quick, AM entry today, Dear Reader, before I leave the blog in the capable hands of Kevin “The Blog Doctor” Cashman for the next day or so. To the South — another auspicious, if invisible, set of lines crossed while most of us were still in bed this morning. Our cross-country crew sailed over

Day 7 – Red, White, and Apogee

Pausing briefly to reflect on this Friday before the Fourth, it’s quite a thought to think that little Apogee has trips spanning the U.S. — between Boston, Georgia, Montana, Maine and Puerto Rico, if we aren’t red, white, and blue, I don’t know who is! Lots of good reports in from the field today. First

Day 6 – Good Times Had By All

Another beautiful day in Maine and over the hill and dale of the Fiefdom of Apogee! Nick, our twice-over leader of the Coast to Coast trip, called in before two this afternoon to let us know that they had cruised through over eighty miles to get in to La Grange, Georgia well ahead of schedule.
