"Wilderness" don't mean "Backpacking"

Spent the last 6 days outin Eastern Utah working at a wilderness therapy program for at-risk teens. Don't be fooled. By "wilderness" they don't always mean "backpacking". We didn't move this last week. Just camped at the same spot the whole time. A little painstaking but a great first week back: the weather was great, the students not too challenging and a cool group of staff to work with.

Picture this moment:

I was sitting in on a therapy session, watching the sun set over the snow and sagebrush, listening to a therapist talk to this kid whose parents don't really love him, hearing coyotes howling in the distance.
