Honestly, this week is harder than backpacking 35 miles!
Grand total: Fredonia 46, Silver Creek 5, Brocton 2.
The Silver Creek bunch is delightful and we had a great time getting to know each other. The only bad thing is that the club advisor told the parents to get the paperwork in as soon as possible. Not by today. We got two full registrations and two partials and nothing from the fifth child.
That's the problem with trusting someone else to enforce our rules. Hopefully, it will work out.
After I left Silver Creek, I stopped to see our former student, Maeghan who is living in Forestville. She graduated from Plattsburg and is heading out in two weeks for more grand adventures. Florida for kayak certifications, California for climbing certifications, then a great job in Washington. What a joy it was to visit with her. Plus, she offered some great information for the book. She'll be featured in either the first or last chapter because she has demonstrated how to extend the Quest experience. Climbing mountains in Nepal! How many locals have done that?
The trip home was horrible. Heavy, wet snow, slick roads. I crept home at 20 mph. Tonight, it's dropping to 2 degrees. Can't stand much more of this white stuff.
More good news. Annie posted tonight that she got offers from two graduate schools in England.
Wow! So very proud of her! It's exactly what's she's wanted.
