Ransom Course Start 2011


By boat and by van we headed over to the Gulf Coast Ranger District Office in Everglades City to meet the first round of Ransom Everglades students. 

This year is the 28th year that the FL Programs of the North Carolina Outward Bound School has run programs with Ransom students.

 The Ransom course start typically marks the beginning of our busiest time of the year for Sunset Island.

Continued cold as we head into a new year.

The cold weather in December 2010 set records in South Florida.

We awoke to another morning of frost as we approach the new year.
