So the Honors Program hosts a trip up to the Rim Rock Ranch near Cody every year. I went with them. We left Thursday and got back Sunday. Actually I rode up with a friend from Lovell, but it was a blast. We got to stay in log cabins and had a main lodge where we ate and had all sorts of fun. There was also a jar that seemed to never run out of chocolate chip cookies, (though one night we stayed up telling stories and getting to know each other and managed to empty the jar!). They weren't comparable to the ones I got in the mail, though. :) We went to Yellowstone. I've been there quite a few times, but it was the trip there that was the best. I couldn't explain, however, because it was one of those "you had to be there" times. We also went to the Buffalo Bill Museum and I have also been there more times than I can count. So I was able to pretty much be a tour guide. hehe There was also a hot tub and a game room (with pool, ping pong, fooseball, etc.). On Saturday, we went for a hike. Well, it was more like a stroll, but our leader, the Honors President: Duncan, is old so it was a hike for him. We went up this trail for about 45 minutes and when we got to the top I wasn't even tired. Duncan turned back and took about five people with him. The rest of us continued up this ledge, which was a much more fullfilling hike. We got to the top and the non-Wyomingites took lots of pictures. It was neat. All of those students were really fun to be around. Oh, while I was up on top, I found a really old match case. I thought it would be cool to bring home. But when we got back to the lodge, I open it and inside were discharge papers from the navy. It was a discharge from serving in WW2. How cool is that! Anyway, I gained a lot of new friends. One of them is from Iraq. He, Ali, is awesome and hilarious. He also taught us how to count to 10 in arabic. Neat, huh? Well, I have some studying to do, so tata for now

So what a cool thing to find. E-mail me the name, and I will do some research on him.
I am glad you had fun on your trip. That should have been a good break from all the terrible school work. poor thing. tee hee
You had better say my cookies were better. I might not have sent you any more 3;o)
Did you look at the new "Where in the World" picture on my blog? You should get that one easily. (In fact, G will be going there again in a couple of days.)
Hey-- check out Tales With Seaweed on my blog list.....
Sounds like an awesome weekend. I am glad you are in the Honor's program. It gives you special priveleges. Love and prayers.
So, you be sure and tell Duncan that you are my nephew. I don't think they did this trip when I was in the Honors Program. They were opening a house for the honors kids at that time though - is it still open? Plan to live there?
And WOW - howlong are weekends in Wyoming anyway? You sure packed in a ton of things!
Tell Duncan I said "HI"
Question--- Your friend from Lovell is not in either of these pictures. Well, I guess that was a statement, not a question. So here is a question... This is not the whole group, then. (statement) How many went? (hey-- finally a question)
"Friend from Lovell" actually went to Lovell to spend time with her family and didn't get back till after the hike on Saturday. So she was there from Saturday afternoon till Sunday is all. There was about 20ish of us. So, not many even went on the hike...
What an awesome find! Amazing what you will find if you pay attention. Now get back to your studies! LOL!
