Ali's Funeral Procession and the Workout

It is amazing to watch Ali's funeral procession as it slowly rolls through neighborhoods of his hometown Louisville, Kentucky.The thing that makes it amazing to me is that many of the thousands of people lining the street never saw Ali throw a single punch! Watching young children chant his name and throw roses on the hearse as it slowly creeps by. This is the impact of this man on our country..... he really was "The Greatest". Black, White, Asian, Latinos.... everyone is out on the street.

OK Corral Shootout and the Workout of the Day

We transitioned one of our Southwest Outdoor Educator Courses today from their hiking section to their climbing section. What made this transition so notable was that we did the change over in the town of Tombstone, Arizona about half a block from the OK Corral. While the students were doing laundry and showering, while I was debriefing the hiking instructors... there was a historical re-enactment of Wyatt, Doc and the boys blasting Billy Claiborne, the Clantons and the McLaurys. I have never really debriefed a NOLS course with gunfire in the background?!
