Damp Field Trip
Robert and I just came back from another field trip to the West Virginia campus. This trip was particularly rainy — it was a perfect trip to have remembered rain pants. Maybe next time, I’ll actually wear mine. Robert did wear his and was only a little damp despite all the creek crossing.

The kids did a salamander census and their results will be added to the last 10 years or so to track how the population is doing.

They also took a trip on the Magic School Bus, or so it seemed, to go fossil hunting. The bus was boarded by Neanderthals and almost attacked by a T-Rex on its way to the fossil hunting grounds. I was following close enough to the bus to hear the screams when the Neanderthals jumped out of the woods and into the bus.

Sarah was not happy to hear there is no spring trip this year, but they are doing a couple long day trips to the Chesapeake Bay — and we will likely volunteer to close and open the campus for a couple more, not so educational, trips.
