It was a beautiful area and it was a great experience. We did lots of hiking and studying of plants and wildlife and seasons. He was a past biology teacher and seems to enjoy what he was teaching which always helps. I remember being cold again in that same green sleeping bag, which was not warm enough for winter camping. We were at high elevations and there was often frost and ice in the morning.
Friends are a big part of college life.
They are what really make it fun. Many of the friends I made there I still keep in touch with and have seen from time to time. There were about six of us girls that were really close through both years. Two of them I then lived with off campus at Goshen College. We would of course talk until late at night and plan all these things we were going to do together after Hesston.
