I'm hoping this will be passed along to those in charge of your organization so that they will know what an excellent time we had and more importantly how thoroughly professional and accommodating our guides Annie and Jed were. These two great people were knowledgeable, pleasant, caring, upbeat, inspiring and genuinely caring to us and our scouts during our entire stay. Nothing ruffled them, even in the face of leading a group of wilderness amateurs out in the rugged field.
