The 2012 Hands-On Explorer Team is getting ready to leave for Montana! We’re almost done packing, and we have all received our itineraries and passports, so we’re just about ready to go. We’ve been getting to know each other by email, but we’re all excited to finally meet in person. We will all fly from our homes to Great Falls this Friday–that’s only three days away!

Each team member received an expedition backpack, water bottle, journal, Montana guidebook, DVD, and map. We have been practicing with our new Canon cameras, and we’re really excited about the great pictures we’ll be taking with them.

We plan to post blog entries every day with photos illustrating our adventures. Follow the blog to live the adventure with us!
