Day 2 prep

Boy these Greeners (that would be me now too!) don't waste anytime! We gathered this morning at 9 to go over the days agenda, broke into our groups for the trip. Our group is the "Spotted Owls" and is a very auspicious name to boot...owls have been visiting me for over a year in a serious way. We helped each other review the personal gear list. You can tell the class is excited just by the preparation everyone has done up to and including having enough tent space for gear and legroom. 


Now for those of you whom camping is not even close to "no room service", we have to keep our food, our toiletries and anything that has a scent in either one of the vans or a "bear box". Yes campers we will be viewing bears with scopes, maybe even some elk, mountain goats and big horn sheep. Not to forget the tamer of the viewing: hawks, eagles, owls, jays etc.....


We then broke into different groups to do a myers briggs eval, personal shopping, group shopping, and finding lunch. Post lunch break 3 fellow campers and I helped procure the camp kitchen supplies from the Lab shop. No not the items used in the labs but the Lab shop is in charge of the camping/climbing equipment and we had to dig through and find working stoves, industrial sized pots, bowls, mixing utensils, pans, strainers, peelers, shredders, knives, cutting boards, fuel for the stoves, lanterns, tarps, well you get the idea and then haul it to one of the vans....The menus are vegetarian with some items of protein for lunch like salami (thank the maker) and eggs for hopefully breakfast...lol...my personal shopping included Trader Joe's for almonds, and cashews...


At 6:30 we will hear a lecture from the Myers Briggs lady and of course not much has changed.... still an INTJ....


Will post more tomorrow, gotta go....in the meantime make sure your matches are dry and your coffee hot!
