We arrived in New Town this morning and headed for the Ft. Berthold Community College, where we were met by Kerry Hartman. He arranged for us to present to a classroom and opened it up to the public. I have to say it was one of the best crowds that we have had so far, they made us lunch and participated in a good discussion session after we had finished. We didn't have enough to wind to get the kties up in the air again today, but tomorrow's forecast looks promising.
The athletes didn't call tonight, but I've been in contact with Jim Grijalva who has gone out to kite with them for a couple days. He tells me that they are camping near the Missouri river just off of HWY 1804. They should be coming through New Town tomorrow and we hope to see them during our clinic. The weather has improved and the sun is shining, as long as the snow doesn't melt we are in good shape. Tonight the education crew is staying in the wrestling room at New Town High School and Middle School. We had dinner with some locals at a pizza place which was nice, but I think that we are all pretty tired out from a series of very long days. I'm excited at the prospect of seeing the athletes tomorrow, but I will be sorry to leave New Town as they have been very friendly in welcoming us to their community. I hope to see tons of people out to snowkite down by the marina by Four Bears Casino tomorrow!
