from the desk of daniel powell- the last week has been full of 8 hour a day grad class and little outdoor play. we're told that the next two weeks will be inverted, which will be nice. The grad class has been about leadership and how to effectively lead in an outdoor setting. rob is the camp director and prof for the class. its been great to hear from him and learn from his perspective in the context of leading a camp. everyday has caused our brains to work...hard. the next two weeks are training, we'll be outside most of the day (the next couple wont be above 17F). they havnt really told us much about what we'll be doing but some rumors include: horse back riding, XC skiing, snow shoeing, overnight in the woods in an igloo, broomball (which im told we try to play daily) and whatever else comes our way.
got a tour of the town and sampled the local fare today. the grocery store and local pharmacy had the packers game on over the loud speakers.... so that was nice. if you dont have a musky hanging on the wall of your local business (like the restaurant, grocery store and pharmacy all do) then the town ordinance states that you must have a bulletin board in which the locals can post pictures of their own musky catch for display. the laundry mat and auto store have chosen the latter. we also went to the thrift store to find some nice flannel so we could fit in, however there wasnt a single shirt on the rack. upon inquiring about this absence, we discovered that flannel is far too valuable just to give away in these parts. now enjoy these fine pictures...
dont worry this isnt a real bear
a big ol musky
