A quick update from the Somes Bar Store

We are a week into FLOW, paddling along the Cal Salmon River. The students are doing great, and each bring a unique perspective to the program.

Tess: Tess was co-leader of the day today and did a great job. She tells great stories about the Salt River and makes us all want to come down and visit!
Sam: Sam was co-leader of the day today and planned an action packed day of whitewater (watching him paddle you would not know he was a beginner seven days ago). He is currently cooking chili and cornbread with John and Sean.
John: John stretched himself and ran the Butler section of the Cal Salmon today- and he did great. He keeps the group laughing with his quick wit and excellent Australian accent.
Henry: Henry is learning so much and has discovered that he really enjoys rowing a raft. He is getting quite proficient and enjoys spending time in the boat with Pebbles the dog and Alzar School mascot.
Patrick: Patrick has impressed the group on a number of occasions. Day one it was his uncanny ability to fall asleep in cars, and last night with his scary stories around the campfire. He is tons of fun to have around and has been super helpful with all things "river."
Jami: Jami is learning to kayak so fast! She transitions between groups of students with ease and can make the best out of any situation. She frequently plays DJ for the van rides and can do a great British accent.
Gregory: We had no idea that Gregory was going to have such a great kayaking foundation! He is very aware of what needs to be done and one of the first people to volunteer to work on a task.
Robert: Roberts ran a section today that he wasn't ready for when he was on the trip last year and was really excited about it. His makes Cajun food from New Orleans sound amazing.
