<p>S called this evening after returning from a 5-day orientation trip in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. His group of 8 back-packed up to a base camp at 12,000 ft. to do trail maintenance. This involved hauling 40 lb. bags of soil uphill and moving rocks into place on the trail. Then they scaled one of Colorado’s “fourteeners” (14K ft peaks) to enjoy the view (notwithstanding a little altitude sickness.)</p>
<p>Tomorrow after an address in the chapel is the first class. So he’s working his first 200-page reading assignment tonight. </p>
<p>He’s loving it.</p>
