August 19 - 23, 2013 ten Pittsburgh Area High School Students will be experiencing a five-day adventure learning trip to Yellowstone National Park. The trip is sponsored by Park Journeys, Inc. a Pittsburgh based organization that provides these types of opportunities to Manchester Bidwell Corporation’s network of National Centers of Arts and Technology.
Follow their journey here! Please share with your family and friends and we would love to hear your comments.
Additionally, check out our archives for the Cincinnati Delegate team comments. They visited Yellowstone with Park Journeys July 29 - August 3.
So,
here we are, the wind in my face and the smell of a sulfur shower lingering in
my nose. How does one describe this feeling? They have to use all five senses,
the sight of the mountains, of Bunsen Peak, to be climbed in but three days.
And then there’s the smell, once the sulfur, which resembles the potent smell
of eggs, wears away. It’s the smell of life, of summer, I’m breathing in the
wind and a new soul to be claimed. And the feeling of cacti pines stuck in my
foot, along for the pure joy of this ride. Although I don’t know how
Yellowstone tastes yet! With luck, I will by tomorrow. I trust my team, my
family of ten for these five days. I’d trust them blindfolded, with my two legs
tied to all of theirs. They wouldn’t lead me down a cliff. Would they? I can’t
escape this view, I can’t escape the feeling. I could stay here forever.
Perhaps only nine kids will be riding home.
Awesome photos; keep 'em coming. Love the rabbit!
