Nice work if you can get it

My son is an instructor at the North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS). Recently finished a three day whitewater training block running the Nantahala to the NOC so there's pics. Students (and instructors) are usually in solo boats, but NCOBS is pushing tandems a little more these days apparently (which didn't go as well). So here's my kid having a miserable time at "work".

Looks like he's finding it tough. I hope the pay is extra for that sort of work

Is that Lesser Wesser in the top photo?

All photos are at Nantahala Falls I'm told. So yes? Apparently NOC has a camera there that captures pretty much everyone, then they post the pics online for sale, which is how I came by them.

I have found that mixing my vocation and avocation together is very confusing.
I have had jobs where we were in the field 60-70% of the time. Hard to have a marriage, a dog or be a parent. Hard to have a mortgage.
You get some time off. There is no interest in camping or canoeing, I just want to be home with my woman, a shower and a warm bed.

I never liked being gone all the time. Being in the field more like 30-40% of the time or less was much better.
