McCall Trip

I believe there are many things to be said about the McCall trip. First off, I'd like to thank Chris and everyone who organized the trip for doing so, as well as dealing with such a rowdy bunch. Anyway, what I took away from this trip wasn't what I had hoped for. Going into it, I thought there was going to be a lot more recreational activities and exploring the outdoors. We were told to pack warm clothes, and I felt like I overpacked because we ended up not being outside at all. I get that the hot springs thing was no ones fault, but there was still more outdoor activities we could have done. It seemed like everything we did, could have been done here at Boise State. We didn't take advantage of the fact that we were out of town and up in the beautiful mountains. It's just that we are the Lifetime Recreations LLC, and I don't see how oppression, and diversity fit into that. It isn't that I don't respect or appreciate either of those things, but I am just confused as to how they fit into recreation. I do believe however that some people popped out of their shells a bit, and a few of us grew closer. I know I can say I had some good conversations with people I don't usually converse with and it was great. I'm really glad we all got to get away and enjoy such a magnificent spot together, I just wish it was spent doing other activities.
