The NOLS Bus Comes to Town

      Spirits are high as the students for the Outdoor Educator Wilderness (OEW) and North Cascades Wilderness (NCW) courses arrive at the NOLS Pacific Northwest (PNW) and notice a very large bus with beautiful scenes of nature and large variety fruit on it. You may ask, “What does fruit have to do with nature?” Well, Stonyfield Farm, the makers of organic yogurt sponsor the NOLS Bus. In addition to the bus being here to welcome the students they also have a chance to be in the NOLS video. Brad Christensen, NOLS Webmaster, and his film crew will be making a “Welcome to NOLS PNW” video so future students and families can see what it is like to go through the branch before embarking on their expedition.
    Students will be shown making their rations, getting equipment issued, as well as the wonderful meals made during their stay. Not only the student will be leaving today but the NOLS Bus must be at their next stop soon. As all the PNW staff wave good-bye to the students and the bus crew we will be smiling as we see a big cow on the back on the bus and wonder… why is that really there?
