Washing mountains of grapes the day before.

The Green Party is represented at a second location on Tribal Journeys.  It was a great experience to be part of the volunteer group in K'omoks.  Just for washing grapes alone, we had 6 or 7 people.  And then there were the people making mountains of spaghetti sauce and cooking pasta, or the people putting together the food bags for the paddlers as they landed.  Let me tell you, those food bags were heavy!  K'omoks was not the final location and not all the canoes stopped here, but still there was a huge number of people involved to make it happen.  Being part of a huge effort like that was inspiring.
