This is the first post of my blog that will outline the most awesome oportunity of a lifetime. I will be leaving for a trip to western Texas for an internship at Big Bend National Park.

I am planning to take every chance I get to see something new on the trip out there…and Big Bend is a beautiful place…so it will be a lot of cool stuff to see.
