I was given a packet of Thank Yous, one class of 5th graders gave the Forest Service after their Winter Trek adventure with me.  Precious and appreciative- I had to share a couple.

 Dear Ranger Denise and Ranger Jean,
      Thank you for teaching me about the tracks of American Martins.  Not only that, but I also learned about the 3 different water uses.  I have never seen bear scratches like the ones I saw on the field trip.  I think that your job is very fun and amazing!!!!!!!  You have inspired me to work outdoors when I grow up.  This is the BEST field trip I have even been on and will always be.  I love the way you guys were patient with us.  This was my first time I have been on a gondola, and I had the best time on it.  It was also a challenge, but I really like challenges- especially this one.  I had no idea that there were 63 rivers going into Lake Tahoe until you told me.  From, Vaneza
