First day

We made it to the Visitor Center safely (thank you, thank you, thank you). Then we took a great hike scrambling up boulders in the snow. Fabulous scenery. We had to make a white knuckle drive through the snow and red mud to reach the Field Station. We ALMOST made it up the hill but not quite. So we dragged all the food and baggage up the last hundred yards or so. The students are AWESOME to pitch in and help. This is a super group and we will have a blast.
