What's a Botanist to Do?: Morgan

I really liked the tree scavenger hunt. it was so much fun to use the gps's to find the trees. it was just for the fun of it but we all got so intense about it. there was so much running involved but it was so much fun even though at the end we were all so tired from all the running. the girls team won even though one of the teams cheated. i would do that scavenger hunt again any day because it was so much fun.
