expedition check-in


We still need to meet with our outdoor ed rep for forms etc. We have yet to collect bottles for this week, so hopefully we can rally and collect more bottles today. We cant afford for our fundraising efforts to loose momentum.


On a different note, I am still working on an adventure definition. This past weekend I went on an adventure to a festival the celebrates climbing, culture, and conservation. While there were some logistical snags, and the weather was terrible, it was still an adventure. A weekend spent in the back of a compact SUV combined with good music and friends sounds good to me. This is precisley why adventure is difficult to define, There were so many variables that influenced the outcome of this endeavor. Quinn Said: "Without question, when complete confidence and competence reign, adventure cannout exist."

I was not sure of the logisitcs. However, I have been camping before and I had confidence in that aspect of the trip.
