Final post by Mychal Hayes

Dear people of the regular world,

This will be my last blog entry of this trip. It saddens me that this trip is over. I have made some good friends that I hope to keep in touch with. My skills have improved on and off the water. My teaching ability and assertiveness has improved a lot since the beginning of this trip. Some of the best times of the trip were driving from the one river to another in the van. Those times were fun because we told a lot of stories and got to know each other. Other great times were after we got off the river and were sitting at the campsite talking. I’m glad I went on this trip and I wish it were longer.
