Students
from Jill Kinmont Boothe High School in Bishop, California,
and Turlock High School came together for the first WildLink
expedition of the 2005-2006 school year. Despite some questionable
fall weather, the group was able to begin their journey in the
High Sierra of Yosemite at Porcupine Creek. They spent four
days making their way down to Yosemite Valley with some challenging
side trips, such as summiting North Dome.
Two of the
participants, Joey and Natalie, were both returning WildLink
alumni. It was Joey's first time in the backcountry with WildLink,
however, because he was sidelined last year before setting out
backpacking due to a back injury. We were very happy that he
was able to join us for the full week this time.
The group
explored the Wilderness through personal adventure, journaling,
critical thinking debates and water quality testing. WildLink
would like to recognize this group for a job well done, and
we wish them many happy returns to the Wilderness in the future!
