Shoulders and Triceps

I had to work today as we get ready to greet our NOLS Southwest Semester students back from their climbing camp out at Cochise Stronghold. They have one more section of their semester left, their Independent Student Expedition. A few instructors will hike with the students to make sure they can still read a topographical map, refresh their first-aid skills and talk about emergency procedures. Once the instructors feel good about those skills, the students will be off on their own hiking until the end of their course.

Today's quote is from George Mason:

"All men are by nature born equally free and independent."
