All day today with Tricia's whole eighth grade class. We're at a three day outdoor ed camp. My dorm has 16 boys. Teenage boys. Lights out (theoretically) in 24 more minutes. Will I make it?
-
Lol
DOOMED!
-
Uncle Brad or Mr. Young sir? What is outdoor ed?
You should teach the outdoor safe sex ed course and they should have one. Especially warn the boys about entrapment and that abstinence and big climbing goals(of course you should sell them a guidebook) is the safest route. :D
I am sure that Mr. Outdoor and family will survive and have fun.

In all my 36 years teaching 8th graders my one unbreakable rule was to never go on overnight trips with them. Good luck, Brad!

Post up so we know you survived!

Yer doomed

Still breathing. Just drank the first cup of coffee I've ever consumed in the evening (night hike tonight). We're also sharing the camp with 200 screaming sixth graders.

6th graders are worse than 8th graders.

The key to surviving children at times is to remember I was once one myself. Though there were days when a real threat of extermination was in order. >:D

I think I'd rather encounter a rattlesnake than spend another hour in the dorm with the smell of Reese's feet. They were so bad that when I first smelled them I actually asked (and with complete sincerity): "who barfed."
I was the only male chaperone for most of the time. The boys and I got off to a good start though. As we were moving in I told them to gather up so I could tell them the rules. There were only two (as far as I was concerned):
- Don't do anything stupid;
- No screeching or screaming.
Anything else was fine.
I did tell them to cool it a little though when, in the midst of an epic pillow fight, one boy crashed into the wall so hard I thought he'd gone through it.

Snakes, ugh....
.I was always leery of walking through the dry grass up and around the high peaks....never saw one.
thankfully

The walking dead. My brother Jim had this malady. A toxic mixture of gangrene and leprosy. Glad you survived it.

Rob - it was under the summit block of the Frog.
This year we have seen rattlers just uptrail from the tunnel on Tunnel Trail on 4-11, at the base of First Sister during the MoM weekend and now this one at The Frog.

KC and CruxLuv also encountered one on the trail right after the 4th foot bridge as we were hiking to The Flumes ( think it was sometime in June or July).

Isabella, alive, tiny and cute.

Alive is a good start. Cute is a bonus.

Me "spotting" the kids on the "whale watch" (basically a teeter totter/deck that they have to all get on and off while keeping in balance):
