Title: Amherst, WI AAR - Oct. 4-5, 2025
Post by: Theokestral on October 13, 2025, 03:33:43 PM
This was our fourth event with Trail Life in Wisconsin over the past 5 years.

We structured the weekend into two half-day events on Saturday, and a full-day event on Sunday. Some students took advantage of both days, so they could get an introductory warm-up on Saturday, and then a full-dive on Sunday.

The weather was unseasonably hot, and sustained winds of 19 mph tested our shade-canopies and the target-line.

Instructors were able to camp onsite and the weather at night was beautiful. The moon was nearly full.

Thanks to Leadlined, Red Momma Bear, and Ironmike for instructing.

Many thanks to the landowners for hosting us on their family's property.

On a personal note: This marked the 50th event that I've volunteered at. Thank you to Ironmike for presenting me with the 50-Event pin. It was very fitting that he presented it to me, as we were both "voluntold" by the late Dr Rich P to help out at the same event. That was September 12th and 13th, 2015.
Some of the students at this event in Amherst weren't even born yet!
