I’m very sorry to have to tell you that this is my final blog entry. Yesterday, I boarded a plane bound for Charleston and flew home. Before I leave you all, though, there are a few (actually quite a lot) of things that I would like to say. First off, the biggest thank you goes to my dad for making this experience possible. I will never forget spending time with him.  Next, a big thank you to Will Hobbs and Steve McFarlane. As naturalist and horticulturist they both taught me a tremendous amount and I’ll never forget all of the nice things that they did for me (including teaching me all of those plant names… thanks Steve). Second-to-lastly, thank you to the concierge crew, who always made me feel needed at the Welcome Hut even when I wasn’t. Lastly, a thank you to Mr. Stubbs and Mary Stubbs, who were wonderful to me and always had a kind word. It’s been my good fortune to have had this experience, and am deeply grateful to all those who made it extraordinary.
