We survived week 2!

So Thursday was our defensive driving and vehicle training day! Since I am scared to drive anything bigger than my little Rav 4, I was extremely nervous about this!

But it went better than expected. The 15 passenger vans were alright, except that we had to watch a video about how unsafe they are and how often they roll! Not very reassuring. The mini buses were not my favorite. Too wide for me!

But we got to see the Jackson campus of Teton Science Schools, which was nice since some of us will be spending a great deal of time there. The challenge course was calling out to me, so I really hope we get a chance to do it at some point!

Yesterday saw us getting ready for our backcountry trip next week! This included splitting up gear and food, and learning how to pack a pack! At least I learned how to pack a pack... everyone else has done it before! But my pack is huge and I can barely carry it! Problematic...

Today Julie, Paige, Ashley and I went on an adventure to Oxbow Bend and Signal Mountain. At Oxbow Bend we saw a pelican, some deer, lots of ducks and an otter from afar! Then we went to the top of Signal Mountain for a pretty good view!

We saw some bison along the way

And some horses
