Damp Field Trip
Robert and I just came back from another field trip to the West Virginia campus. This trip was particularly rainy — it was a perfect trip to have remembered rain pants. Maybe next time, I’ll actually wear mine. Robert did wear his and was only a little damp despite all the creek crossing.

The kids did a salamander census and their results will be added to the last 10 years or so to track how the population is doing.

They also took a trip on the Magic School Bus, or so it seemed, to go fossil hunting. The bus was boarded by Neanderthals and almost attacked by a T-Rex on its way to the fossil hunting grounds. I was following close enough to the bus to hear the screams when the Neanderthals jumped out of the woods and into the bus.

There were a few cool finds but Robert was not one of the lucky kids to find a trilobite.

Sarah was not happy to hear there is no spring trip this year, but they are doing a couple long day trips to the Chesapeake Bay — and we will likely volunteer to close and open the campus for a couple more, not so educational, trips.
