My NOLS Semester

for the past three months, I have been travelling across the western united states with a group of students, learning about outdoor education and backcountry living. I made a goal to journal every single day I was gone. these are my journal entries, along with pictures and videos that i took. I will post one entry per day until my whole trip has been documented. enjoy.

October 19th

We went into Pinedale today. It was a good chance to get some laundry done, and I was able to talk to my family for a bit. Pinedale has a fantastic aquatic center, and that was pretty fun. I’m really excited to get back to class, and hopefully it’ll take my mind off of the stress that’s been growing around the canyon section. Because of regulations, we have to split into groups of no more than 10 people. This means FSR-1 and 2 will have to combine. Everyone’s stressing out about it, and I could care less. I’m doing this course for me, and no one, FSR-1 or 2, will stop me from getting the most I can out of this semester.
