Eagles, osprey, pelicans, and limestone cliffs, with some conversation about local geology; passed 6 &#8220;through-paddlers&#8221; (go the length of the river) in kayaks and canoes.\u00a0 Spirits good despite lack of sleep and very hot conditions; swim in the river was delicious; students have jumped right in with camp duties, and are excited about the trip, but a little apprehensive about the coursework and how to keep up with their studies. Brief campfire until the mosquitoes drove us into our tents, where we slept the sleep of the extremely exhausted.\u00a0 Rain at night but all stayed dry. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.findmespot.com\/mylocation\/?id=QLFN2\/44.77298N\/92.99252W\" target=\"_blank\">LOCATION<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0530: Canoes arrive and students and do a great job of loading the boats; 0800 ceremony begins with Pres.
