Field Trip Friday!!

Calling all Volunteers!!

This coming Friday, the 11th of January, marks our first field trip of 2013!!  Please consider joining us, if possible, as we take a trip on the Bonneville Dam!  (I know what you're thinking, but this time it'll be different!)

This Friday's excursion will kick off our unit on Electricity and Magnetism.  I have heard grumbles and rumbles of repeated trips to the Dam from some veteran Cascade families, but I can assure you that the content we'll be exposed to is much different than on past trips.  We will be traveling to the Washington side of the Dam, where we will be able to tour the floor of the hydroelectric power plant.  It is a fascinating (and loud) experience that is worth the trip on the bus!!

We will also be enjoying a short hike very close to the power plant, on the Fort Cascades Trail.  If you join us, please plan for a bit of mud and a bit (or more) of rain.
