Can you help us out by saving your egg cartons? If you could bring them to the September class, that’d be great. If you have egg cartons but won’t be at the September class, just let me know and we will figure something out. Thanks!

Hi Amy,

Very nice seeing you yesterday!  And so glad you are remaining involved with GTM, as you are quite the asset!

Attached are two documents related to the guided hike.  Both were developed perhaps 5-6 years ago so are a bit dated.  There's too much info to all be covered during the hike, so pick and choose --- and add your own!

Let me know if any questions.

Mary

Thanks so much, Mary.
Many of us see you and Jeff as the cornerstones of the GTM community.
Try as I might, I can't get Google to open the docs for me. It says my 'account is unavailable, try again later'.
Meanwhile, Josie sent me a script and PowerPoint right after you did. They are also in Google Drive and they do open for me. Maybe they are the same documents?

That was exciting for me to see that you and Jeff compiled your own binder. Very liberating, knowing I can present what I know without having to know what everyone else knows.

Good!
And like you say, discuss whatever appeals to you. Tom Barry, for example, probably spent 1/4 or more of the time on archaeology. I think just the intro pieces (what is an estuary, what GTM does) should be covered at every hike.

I look forward to your leading. You’ll really enjoy it, I’m sure.

Interesting. I just clicked on them and got the same message.
Let me know if these links work. Anyone with the link should be able to access them.
