a precursor to Alissa’s comments

Well, there’s enough energy built up in this group to accomplish almost anything! I wish I had Professor Michael Cronin with me right now; he’s a professor of Social Work at Stockton College. The students are so very frustrated due to very harsh and dreary weather in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Very cold and wet - making for dangerous conditions, so no real hikes, and needless to say, few rocks to view. We did our best, and the team is now a very well-oiled machine when it comes to setting up came and breaking it down: this is in good weather or awful weather. Camping in snow is no small feat, and camping in rain for days with wet tents and bags is a real bummer, yet they are all doing very well now we are at the hotel in Sheridan, Wyoming. Alissa will write more tomorrow from a student’s perspective. I will say that we saw the most spectacular of large bears from the safety of our vans: it was huge and running up over a snowbank when it caught sight of us. It “freaked” and turned around mid-stride, mid-air. I don’t know if I have ever seen anything more magnificent in my life!
