PASCI project

October 3rd 2003
The North Shore

Before we enter in earnest into the project preparations we go on a hike on the North shore. Our new friend Bob shares his taste for the extreme with us. We explore a steep ravine and swing a suspension bridge as hard as we can. Climbing up the side of the gorge a rock the size of a baby bear plunges down beside me and lands in the stream, everyone thinks I died but here I am holding on to this tree root (root tee toot).

We meet with three groups and go to a protest in the space of three or four days all of these encounters are extremely interesting, it feels good to have started the “worky”. We meet a homeless man named Marcel who lives in a tent-city. Eating sushi and talking about life in his living room under a blue tarp, it feels special to have this poor man treat us with such hospitality and generosity.

Our friend Yolanda sends us off with a bulging bag full of bulging granola bars. We’re set! This wicked energy food will make the next few days much more pleasant.
