Day 6

On Friday we spent most of the day up in the Snowy Range in the nearby Medicine Bow National Forest.  One of our goals was to compare the environments at "low" (9000 ft) and "high" (11000 ft) elevations.  Another goal was to collect soil and water samples, which would be chemically tested and visually inspected later that night for signs of life.  One final activity involved interviewing camp directors, counselors, and teachers to learn about their careers and educational paths.

A little over-exuberance with suntan lotion never hurts
