A Cool Program

We slid into our campsite with just a whisp of time left to make the 9 p.m. ranger program. The ranger was part of a new teacher to ranger to teacher program, so even though it was the first time she had given this talk, it was great. She presented great information on old growth forests that really tied together and illuminated lots of bits and pieces we’d learned along the way. An upgrade from the college kids and first-time public speakers we’d seen a lot of this trip.

Is that possible Scott? That there could be an upgrade over college kids? Glad to see that your trip is going well...Have a great time!
All the best,

Well . . . good point Wes (and thanks for checking in!). But let's not forget, these weren't exactly Trinity students we're talking about here!

Actually, we did have a Dukie (no, I didn't ask if he knew your Saratoga Springs kid) who has a lot of potential but, for some reason as a rising junior at an elite US university he seems to have done no public speaking. We found that odd.

Other than that it was a rather sad lot, sorry to say.
