Today was a bit like yesterday. I spent the morning observing camp activities, the afternoon teaching an after school program, and the evening back at camp. This evening's activity was a night hike, using the same trails I hiked many times over the summer while working for the Youth Science Institute. We marched in an ant-like column, without the aid of flashlights, through the Redwoods. At one point, we each got the opportunity to walk alone, following the trail with the aid of candles placed on the ground at intervals. Very cool.
We ended the evening by peering through a telescope at a nebula. The Milky Way stretched across the sky. That's one of the good things about being up in the hills. You can actually see the Milky Way.

Okay, time to get off the computer.
