Last Class Before the Trip

Hi All,

Wow, What a productive class!

To recap:
1. I gave a bit of a "tour" of the areas of Sequoia that we will be visiting, and an overview of the itinerary. I did receive word after class, that our CAVE TOUR IS ON!
2. Determined our tent groups.
3. Figured out our food groups, generated menus, and I will develop shopping lists for the weekend.
4. We did an equipment check-in, and delegated responsibility for who is bringing what.
5. We revisited the human-created boundaries, and grouped people in their skit groups (to be performed next Thursday night - 10/25).
6. Reading - FINISH ALL OF THE READING PACKET BEFORE MONDAY! Remember to pose three really good questions about the Native American section, as well as three for the Exploration and Exploitation section. Remember, we will be visitng with both Park Archaelogist Tom Burge and retired Chief of Interpretation Bill Tweed - the respective experts for each section of the reading.

Just checked weather.com, and it says all sunny days next week. Translation: days in the foothills about 80 degrees, nights 50'ish; days in the mountains in the 50s and nights possibly as low as 20 (clear skies allow heat to escape at night).

Over the weekend, email me at BMS or call me at home if things come up (I am in the directory). It should be a great week!
