An interesting thing about Holden Village that I forgot to mention in my last post is that it's so remote there is no phone or internet service there. So starting next Tuesday I'll have no contact with friends and family for three weeks. I'm not sure exactly how difficult that will be. I've owned a cell-phone for the last year and it's almost too easy, being able to call anyone you want at any time, whether you're driving on the highway or walking to class. I think I'll enjoy the remoteness of Holden.
To get to Holden I'm taking the train from Minot to Wenatchee, then a bus from Wenatchee to Chelan, then a ferry up Lake Chelan and THEN another bus from the landing up the mountain to Holden Village. It's up in the woods, so there's great hiking. (However, there were forest fires in that area recently, so I don't know how many trails will be open.)
Although it's remote, they still get mail daily.....and I love getting mail. (hint, hint.) so here's the address.
