Hasta Luego Leave No Trace...

Well this is my last blog as the Leave No Trace Intern. I have wrapped up a 6 month internship at the Center and have loved every minute of it. I came on last June and immediately we went on a rafting trip. Not many interns are offered that opportunity when they enter a "hands on" learning environment. I was able to experience "leave no trace" camping techniques right away. The journey continued and every week, even Mondays I was looking forward to getting to work and not only learning skills in Nonprofit Management but hanging with these guys. The whole group is some of the coolest people I have met. They have so much dedication to their work and the cause, it has grown to be something I truly admire in them. December has now arrived and I must return home to the Northern Dakota to finish school. It will not be goodbye forever, I have decided to take on the duties of the new North Dakota State Advocate. I will then be graduating in the spring and hopefully returning to the great state of Colorado and the awesome people I've met along the way! Thank you Leave No Trace and Happy Holidays to all!
