Days 58-59

What a beauty...


I got back from my work-related backpacking adventure today. That's right, I get paid to go backpacking. I went with 2 co-workers and 35 kids: we were at a severe numerical disadvantage. At several points throughout the trip, there were children dangling about from my arms and legs. Giving piggyback rides is a pretty good cardio workout; it definitely made me feel like my heart was on the brink of exploding.

These are some of the kids I took backpacking. As for insight into each of their personalities, I think each photo speaks for itself.







Some other cool things of note:

We caught (and released) a baby rattlesnake!


We saw a blacksmithing demo (and I made stuff)!
