SNP 2014 LNT Master Educator Course


Pinnacles Research Station Sat. & Sun

Experiential  Learning What 200 Feet Is


Discussing The Route And Practicing Map Reading Skills

40 Acres

When asked about what the worst LNT transgression I had incurred was, I mentioned the fact that I had once started a 40 acre brush fire.    That got me a course handle of 40 Acres.    I liked the handle.  It produced a strong sense of acceptance, goodwill, and fellowship.  When it was used I found it made me laugh.   Somehow it provided a profound sense of comfort in the fellowship of sharing the humility of my own human imperfection.  

In addition, 40 Acres reminded me of the name of a song that has always resonated with me.
