The final chapter of this year of travel has begun. Currently, the Westies are living up at Johnston Wilderness Campus, about half an hour outside of Walla Walla doing various orientation activities, getting to know each other, and getting accustomed to living out of a duffel bag (yet again) for the next four months. We've had only one academic discussion so far, involving our perceptions of and thoughts about the West, which turned into a funny sort of defensive stake claiming of each person and their home state. The group is varied in terms of home, but not so much in terms of interests and viewpoints. For this, I am excited to get on the road and talk to other people. But so far we get along great and are similarly terrified and excited to get going.
Tomorrow we leave for our first adventure! It's off to Eastern Oregon for Ecology with Mary O'Brien. I can't wait to get started.
