What's new with Anew

Indian summer

Can you believe the weather?   Last week in Washington we saw freezing temperatures, buckets of rain and what many were calling Autumn.  But have you looked outside today?  It's beautiful out and the forecast is calling for clear skies and temperatures in the mid 70's through the weekend.  It's Indian summer and your last chance to play in the sun.  Get out there and enjoy it.

Notes from the Field

Girl Scouts Adventure Race

"You can do it!"

The young girl took a deep breath, her legs slightly shaking as she tried to find a comfortable stance at the top of the 30-foot rock wall.   Her small hands gripped tightly around the nylon rope as she prepared to lower herself to her anxious teammates down below.  

"Do you have any questions?" John asked as he prepared to detach her from the safety line.   Her head shook side to side, as if trying to speak right now was a little more than she could muster.   "On rappel," John yelled to her teammates down below.
