I spent last weekend in the desert hosting a group of students for an outdoor leadership program and this past weekend I found myself back at the camel race track for the start of the racing season!!! Lots of exciting things on the horizon with Movember celebrations, Thanksgiving, basketball playoffs, and looking forward to getting home in just a few weeks. Here's just a few recent photos of what has been happening!
