As you know, there was a tie between the Senior proposal and the Sophomore proposal. The two proposed trips are below. The Senior proposal has been edited because the Silverwood Amusement Park will not be open when we plan to take the trip. There is the possibility of going to the Big Cat Zoo in Spokane instead. Also, there will be no swimming at Hells Gate State Park because it will be too cold. The seniors also looked at adding a couple of more stops and changing the route so we could see different country. The schedule will have to be rearranged, but they didn't have time.
