We are currently 2/3 of the way through this summer road trip and still going strong! I was worried that we would be exhausted and tired of living in such a small space with our environment constantly changing, but that is not the case. We are all enjoying ourselves quite a lot actually.
So we started out in Arizona, Cami visited a program while I helped my good friend Rebecca prepare for her wedding. After the Father's day wedding, we went back down to Mesa for another day with the wilderness therapy program there. The program we were scheduled to see next canceled last minute, so we spent a week visiting the Grand Canyon and Zion National park.
After our time in the national parks we traveled to south-central Utah to visit another wilderness therapy program. Next we headed to northern Wyoming and visited a 40,000 acre cattle ranch for troubled boys. From there we swung by Yellowstone, drove through the Grand Tetons and are now in Idaho about an hour outside of Boise at another ranch for struggling teens.
Visiting the various programs has inspired some great conversations between Cami and I. We are learning a lot and as we hoped, seeing new ways to approach our teenagers. I really think we are going bring a lot away from this whole experience. In addition to visiting these programs, Cami is writing an article summarizing what we see. So when that is done I will forward the link to all of you.
