We have arrived! After waiting for a few late arrivals, the pontoon boats where loaded and we headed out to Camp Huntington. Almost on Que, the clouds started to clear and it was a very peaceful ride across the lake. Bunk assignments were given out and then we gathered for orientation. We were given half the tour of camp and then had an excellent dinner. We headed out for the second half of the camp tour after dinner. Ok, that is the nuts and bolts of what we did today, but let's get down to the good stuff!
Lee just discovered that the bird we heard on the hike is called a "Thrush". Professor Tim, as well as Beth and Karl, gave us a great history lesson on the history of the first Great Camp. It is great being surrounded with other individuals that are geared toward a common goal, learning about the environment and nature. I sure we all have a little different twist about what we want to get out of this week, but there will be many common threads I'm sure. Tomorrow morning more will be revealed about why we have all signed up for this awesome class...
