Worth Watching

Standing on an overlook at Utah's magnificent (and peaceful) Canyonlands National Park Monday, we spotted a shadow that looked remarkably like a mountain lion head. Can you see the eye, ear and gaping mouth? The day began with a rafting trip down the Colorado. Just one exciting rapid, but a neat trip nonetheless. I've decided that in my next life I'm going to spend my summers as a river raft tour guide. Tomorrow we had back to Durango, Colo.


Nothing sportswise for you today, but a really neat 17-minute film about Dartmouth life during World War II. Sitting here in a campground with the juice running out of my laptop battery, I can't watch the whole thing, but I've already seen a clip of a couple of horseback riders passing in front of Memorial Field and another clip of football from the era. Here's the description of the video from YouTube:
Student-produced film of life at Dartmouth College during World War Two, including footage of the Navy V-12 Program, President Hopkins and President Dickey, the Dartmouth Outing Club, Dartmouth football and post-war construction of Sachem Village and Wigwam Circle.
