“One of my guiding principles for outdoor recreation is this thing my friend said to me on my second ever backpacking trip after I apologized about needing to stop and take a break. ‘I came out here to spend time with YOU, I don’t care how quickly we get there.’”

“Here in Holderness, the air bites any exposed skin and breezes through layers of clothing in a way I have never experienced before. I’m told that this is only the beginning of it all- that within a few months, everything will be deeply entrenched in wet, heavy snow and Squam Lake will be covered in well over a foot of solid ice.”

“…it’s incredibly invigorating to hear our directors discuss the various initiatives taking place in and around Squam Lake. I’m looking forward to contributing to these efforts as a part of a team, and I can’t wait to continuously learn and expand my personal perspective of environmental science along the way.”

“Memories can be fickle things, fluttering in and out of your memory like a hummingbird’s tongue darting in search of its next cache of sugar. Early memories may be embedded deep in your skull as permanent features, or they may dance on the outskirts of consciousness, caught in a purgatory between déjà vu and true recollection.”
