We (Bob McClurg and I) are sitting in a Motel 6 in Blythe, CA getting ready for the first school on the Great American Sea Star Trek: Quartzsite Elementary in Quartzsite, AZ at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We'll be seeing 100 kids (K-8th grade. That's the entire school). More tomorrow on this.The trip from Santa Monica to Blythe was uneventful (thankfully), albeit started a tad later than we had wanted. We left at 2:30 pm (instead of 10:00 am) and arrived at 6:45. Some beautiful desert scenery along the way - some high winds encountered but nothing the Tidepool Cruiser couldn't handle. Sorry no pix today.
Tomorrow the TidePool Cruiser critters will be leaving the state of California for the first time. They include five bat stars (collected six years ago) and some newcomers acquired from the kind folks at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. (Thanks Vicki and Jose.) The newcomers are some Norris top snails and a beautiful, huge red sea urchin ans some purple ones as well. I'm sure they'll be a big hit with the kids.
Check in tomorrow for more news. Right now it's back to the Discovery channel to watch wild dogs in the Serenghetti chasing impala across the plains.
