The second email update from Lowman written on September 20, 2009.

As our trip winds down to a close, I'd like to give you one final update from the field. I'd also like to, again, thank you for your supportive emails, comments, and silent well wishes--they have been a terrific source of inspiration for the duration of my time here. This is a lengthy email, reporting our activities over the past few days, so if you are challenged for time or patience, I invite you to view this photo album as it will convey much of what is written here. Don't miss the new YouTube video either.

I hope this communication makes up for lost time.
