Thanksgiving! (gobble, gobble)

Thanksgiving was great at NOLS Southwest! While students were in the field adventuring, the ultra-competitive staff at the Branch played Desert Bowl 2006. Everyone had been preaparing for weeks, culminating in a close game.

Since students were out during the traditional holiday, folks here at the branch put together a feast for students. Everyone was excited for the classic meal with an added southern twist from Elizabeth.

Fall Semester in the Soutwest (FSW2) headed out this morning. They are on their way to the Galiuros Mountains for the capstone of their semester, Independent Student Groups. As the nights here in the Sonoran Desert grow cooler and cooler, FSW2 and their Indepent Travel Section is the last course section of the season. Everyone seemed excited for reflection and a little more time adventuring together as their semester winds down.
