Dear Reader,
We have come to the end of the second session of YCC. Today, crew leaders are driving to Yellowstone International Airport in Bozeman with students who will leave by air. Other students will disappear one by one throughout the day into vehicles familiar to them but strange to everyone else. With the end of second session comes the end of this year's YCC program at Yellowstone National Park and therefore, the tail-end of this blog. In the meantime, let's conduct a retrospective of this past week.
Alpha Crew
Alpha crew installed trail post signs near Yellowstone Lake Monday and then worked on bear boxes from Tuesday to Friday.
Bravo Crew
Bravo crew spent the entire week at Lewis Lake on trailhead signs. It seems like they had quite a splash at Lewis Lake too.
Charlie Crew
Charlie Crew worked on a variety of projects throughout the park: trailhead signs at Tower on Monday and Friday, Visitor Use Monitoring at Canyon and Norris on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, and bear box installation at Madison on Wednesday.
Mount Washburn Group Summit
As per YCC tradition, students summitted Mt. Washburn Saturday. For some, this was the first summit they peaked!
Rafting
Sunday, staff drove students into Gardiner via the Old Gardiner Road so that students could experience whitewater rafting.
And thus concluded the final week of YCC Session II.
Regards,
Your Narrator.
