The Big Idea

Folly by definition is a foolish action or idea, the word absurdity and phrase "lack of sense" seem to continually arise. But what would life be like without these follies? Why not embrace these ideas and get a little nutty! This is my journal for those adventures, and along the way I hope to meet new people, take the path less traveled, have some fun, and spread the story of this sustainable journey we call life! Here you’ll find short anecdotes about my life, links to enlightenment, and opinions on how to have fun! I would love to hear about your folly, so feel free to e-mail me, I might just post them, and thanks for visiting!

We Bid Thee Farewell!

IMG_6761

Ahhh how time files... It feels like just yesterday we were new to NOLS RM, learning people's names and about the projects we would be working on. Enthusiastic to start and hit the ground running. Now after just 10 short weeks, today is our last day as the spring NOLS RM interns. We have had a great time here in Lander, and will miss everyone we have met along the way. Thank you for the amazing experience, the laughs, and the wonderful time we spent here, our sojourn will be missed and never forgotten.

As for the future, Whitney will be heading south on Sunday to her new home in Boulder, Colorado. Whit will be working for the Women's Wilderness Institute for six months as the Program Coordinator Intern helping manage course logistics (rations and gear), coordinating with other interns and volunteers, and helping with pre- and post-season administrative duties (permits!!). She's looking forward to her new job working with some amazing and inspiring women and girls, but will definitely be back up to visit (and climb in) Lander this summer!

As for me, I will be headed to NOLS corporate (more commonly known as HQ) which is just down the street, to start another exciting journey as part of the NOLS publications team. I look forward to the change and am excited to be in Lander for the summer months!

Thanks again NOLS RM for everything you have taught us!!
