Yesterday we spent the first half of the day breaking down Barbwire fences at a new location for the Teton school. It was great because we got to drive through a huge mountain pass through the Tetons and into Idaho! Here are some photos of pronghorns hard at work on the farm!
The second half of the day was spent back on base camp practicing our leadership skills on the low ropes course. The students planned and worked together to complete all the challenges successfully.
After a quick hour break, we then headed back out into the field for dinner to learn about how elk behave. Bugling refers to the sounds made during mating by the Elks. We acted out skits to learn about how elk behaved during all four seasons, and then we drove to a secluded area where we sat for about 45 minutes at the base of a mountain in the dark, and we drew and mapped out the area in order to mark wherever we heard bugling. It was truly an awe inspiring experience for all of us.
And of course the day would not be officially ended without a classic Mr. Swift selfie!
