Hello lovely.

It has been way too many days since we last spoke! I would like to thank you again for your support and I wanted to let you know that your contribution is not being taken for granted.... I have been working tirelessly for the last six days to ensure the success of Project 562, and I have some updates for you:

~ I am reallly, really, excited to announce that I will be discussing Project 562 on KUOW 94.9 tomorrow morning at 9:20AM, so tune in if you can...

~ Blog 562 is live! http://matikawilbur.com/blog Our official hub is now up and running! Meander through and send me your thoughts, your input is very much appreciated.

~ I am currently working on creating a survey to send to you, kickstarter's way of collecting your information so we can stay in touch- so I can send your rewards to the appropriate address, so please stay tuned for that email.

~ I'm officially "homeless". All of my belongings are now in storage, and I am searching for my modern war pony (also known as a travel trailer). I've rethought the idea of an RV, as I don't think it is suitable for visiting all of the Urban Indians, in urban areas. So, if you have any leads for a perfect war pony, please let me know.

I am sending you love and gratitude. I am very much looking forward to this adventure. Thank you for making it possible.

      You might want to look into a little teardrop trailer. It can be stashed in garages when not being used and doesn't take up much more space than a modestly-sized SUV. We have one of these and can tow it with a honda sedan with an after-market trailer hitch. http://www.bigwoodycampers.com/ultimate.html

      We found ours used on Craigslist for about $1500.

      Best of luck!
