*** Lloyd Champagne Stenquist asks “Where are we” regarding my Facebook profile photo (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=594469602):
This was a year ago in Wyoming. Tom and I participated in a service project called ArrowCorps5. We were working from a remote camp in the Gros Ventre Valley. Those mountains you can just see on the horizon are the Grand Tetons.
Check out: http://www.scoutingmagazine.org/issues/0905/a-good.html
This wasn't my crew on the raft (Tom and I went to Yellowstone on our “day off.” But this was our work crew breaking up the off-road track so it can revert to wilderness, and the comments about “walking the barbed wire” through the willow swamp was also our crew. I spent quite some time talking to writer Jordan Rane when he was at our work site where we were obliterating the ATV trail..
