2 days to go...

In 48 hours we'll be driving through Kentucky on our way to Missouri for our first night. We're getting excited and preparing as fast as we can. Don't forget some warm clothes, flip flops for the shower, and extra bugspray. Make sure we know about any medicine that needs to be taken on the trip. We are checking with the state transportation sites to make sure we can avoid any long detours caused by the recent storms.

I found this site that explains how geysers work. It's one of the best explinations I've seen of why they don't errupt all the time--what makes the water flow sometimes but not constantly. http://mms.nps.gov/yell/ofvec/exhibits/index.htm

Getting ready...

We met with the parents and students who are going on this year's trip last night. We passed out the packing list and went over the expectations. If you want to see some of what you can expect from this trip, you can look at posts from 2009.

I can't wait!
