TRL Update: Catching Up

So we've been kinda quiet lately, huh? Well, with family visits, job interviews, law school, moving house, trying to quickly cobble together plans for both a September wedding & this little thingy down in Peru, & even making time for some righteous whitewater paddleboating, we've been too preoccupied for quality blogging on the internets. Over the next couple weeks, however, we'll be catching you up on some of our recent misadventures, as well as introducing the new IR Vacation To Hell Rio Huallaga Expedition Blog. We're still working it out, but both blogs will share some duties with regard to Peru -- the VTH blog will obviously host most of that material. We have enough going on outside of the VTH to keep TRL alive, we think.

So here's a little preview of what's in store.

((2)) Ashlu Extravaganza featuring Commitment Canyon & the nicest footage we've ever captured! (Note: That's not "nice" like Care Bears "nice". It's "nice" like old school hip hop "nice".)
Here's a quick TEASER Kato threw together. The vid shows Ledcor's "checkpoint" that's been set up at the mouth of the canyon to monitor traffic & "inform" recreationists of the canyon's impending demise. WATCH THE "NICE" TEASER & expect a an extra-nice full-length in the very near future.

I'll be tackling the issue of misrepresentation in communications as it pertains to Ledcor's messaging on the Ashlu micro-hydro project.
