Well, I've officially survived the first three days of training here at AstroCamp! We've launched water rockets, done some stargazing, played with lasers, and done the zipline and skycoaster from the ropes course. For the curious among you, a zipline is more or less like zooming along the cable between two telephone poles, and the skycoaster is a giant swing supported by three trees. Fun and terrifying all at the same time!
When we're not in the labs or at the ropes course, we're outside. We've taken a couple of short hikes, and the scenery is amazing. Anyone remember the opening of Bonanza? From one vantage point, we were able to see Gardner Valley, which is featured in those opening credits. Gorgeous! I didn't have my camera...naturally. The good news is I will have more opportunities, right?
Other than that, not much to report. The weather has been unseasonably gorgeous, the food is awesome, and everyone is really cool.
