Brady's Experience at Teton Science School (TSS) Camp - Kings of the Mountains 2014

This is Brady's story to tell, and there's no way I can do it justice!  I will write another post with all the photos taken when we picked him up.  For now, I'll post the photos I have from his trip and let them tell the story.  I will say that he returned very happy and proud and asking to do another camp like this in the future.  He clearly had a fabulous experience.

For future reference, to jog his memory, he told stories of:
- the value of wet wipes (gold!!  great trades!)
- the tent that collapsed at night
- bear spray practice
- mosquitoes
- Grampy's pack that was awesome because it was "simple and reliable"
- the sky full of stars at night
- watching the sunrise over the lake, alone
- how the group of 12 boys and their leaders grew close ("like family")
- canoeing on String Lake - burritos for dinner
- 6 pieces of chicken at the first meal back from the backcountry!
- wildflowers galore
- the Fon-do's and Fon-don'ts -- the finer points of cooking in the backcountry (and yes, fondue)
- the four oldest boys on the tiny platform on the ropes course -- leaning backwards together
