The last interesting group was from Abilene, TX. High school seniors looking at colleges in AR. I did a River Ecology session one afternoon for the group of about 35. As soon as they got off the bus they needed to use the restrooms at the picnic area of PMSP. Guess what? The restrooms were closed due to no water! And no toilet paper on the bus (tough luck for the ladies). The guys used the woods and the ladies fended for themselves.
We found lots of macroinvertebrates (everyone got wet) and were able to do four or five of the chemical analysis of the water.
After three hours their day was over.…wet, exhausted, bug bites, nerves frayed from false snake sightings, lots of pictures but much more knowledgeable about how to determine water quality level.
Hopefully a good memory of PMSP also.
