Digging out the car when stuck. The girls cooked supper, took care of coffee and tea. The elders talked and shared their insights. No negotiating or conversation was required, everyone knew what to do.		The women agreed that it was still frozen just enough, and that that was how they preferred it.

	Peter van Coeverden de Groot, one of BearWatch's co-PI's, had arrived to come help organize the final workshops with me. To make sure that the Elder-youth cabin would meet the requirements of organizing a pre-workshop meeting for multiple people, we hired George Konana to bring us there. Neither Peter nor I had been there before, so we weren't sure where, or in which state the cabin was.
