This website is intended to keep our friends and families informed about what we have been doing. We hope you consider yourself a friend too. We try to be fairly comprehensive in telling about our travels, people we have met and places we have seen. We hope you find the accounts and photos interesting. Please keep in mind, however, that none of this was intended to be published or distributed widely. The background information is often sketchy and not thoroughly researched, and the opinions expressed are personal. We hope you do not take offense at any of our offhand comments, and do not consider our words as totally complete and accurate. Much more information on all these topics is available, and you should not rely on just one source.
We have made no attempt to block people from copying things from this web site, but we maintain ownership of all these pages and their contents. If you want to have copies of some things on your own computer or printed out for reference when you are not connected to the Internet, we don't mind. However, we do not want any of our words or images distributed widely without our explicit permission. Please do not extract bits of our site into files which you "forward" or publish in some other way. Instead, send our website address to your friends and recommend they visit here themselves.
The photos available on-line in this site are generally reduced to about 640 x 480 or fewer pixels. Our cameras often captured more, and if you want copies of high quality we may be able to provide copies of original, larger JPG files. Also, the photos which are available on-line are just a selection of those we have taken. If you are interested in some particular subject, we may have more photos available which you might like to view. Our letters are often long, but there are some things we know which are not in these letters. In short, if you want more details, more images, or higher quality images contact us.
We can be contacted via email to NinaJerry@arctracer.com but we may not be able to respond if we are not near an email cafe so do not count on a quick reply.
