Thank you for all the kind words! We are working on expanding the hikes that will be available through our website but that is taking some time.

@glennwiebe.bsky.social @madisonteacher.bsky.social So I blew through the book a few weeks ago and wanted to thank you guys. I'm the only SS teacher at a small rural school in central Wisconsin and I've had to make all of my own curriculum for 4 preps.
