Tomorrow the sixteen new NOLS students will head off on their three month adventure into the wilderness of the American southwest. It is always fun to watch NOLS semester students get ready for their first trip into the field. Tomorrow they will ride out and spend two weeks backpacking in the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness. And if all goes well I will meet them all for their river trip down the Rio Grande!
Today's quote is from Aldo Leopold:

Have a Great Day!
Worked out the back today and had the very cool experience of watching a bobcat walk cross the driveway. Fortunately, Ocho didn't see the bobcat and chose that moment to be extremely obedient and listen when he was called into the house.
Today's quote is from Aldo Leopold in honor of our Semester in the Southwest students going to the Gila Wilderness. The Gila Wilderness was the first designated Wilderness in the United States and Aldo Leopold was instrumental in making that happen. Also, The Wilderness Act is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! Seems only appropriate...
"We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."
