Uncommon News - Midsummer Issue 2007

HEY, GUESS WHAT!? Uncommon Adventures is 25 years old this year!
Not only am I amazed about that particular fact, but the fact that I'm still having a blast doing this! Thanks to all of you for making this our busiest season ever. --Michael Gray

GREAT TRIPS THAT JUST HAPPENED....
Alaska's Kachemak Bay Yurt Trip "You can sleep when you get home" ....well, when it only gets dim at midnight and you have 20 foot tides, red salmon rolling in the shallows, Augustine Volcano smoldering in the background, beautiful mussel beds, eye-popping wildflowers--all surrounded by snow-capped peaks--well, you just don't want to miss a minute. To Tom, Deena, Victor, Cari, Mark, Dave and Monica, thank you all for a terrific trip last month!
