Our Inspiration
When Rick was on the run from the detention center, Lon took him in and treated him extremely well. They both related a lot, considering that they were both foster kids, "You were a foster kid?" (124). Lon was in the Canyonlands because he was studying the Condors that were released their that were part of The Condor Project.
Rick cares so much about Condors, and he wants to insure their future. Condors have been troubled for a very long time and the only way to stop this is to get the kids of the future to care. Sending your kid to this camp could not only inspire them to do great things for the Condors but it also teaches them many important skills. While Rick was at Canyonlands for the first time he met to nasty people. They purposely killed one of the Condors that Lon was looking over. There are going to be more people like that in the future, but sending your kid will definitely prevent them from being one of them. Condors saved Ricks' life from becoming a complete train wreck, and he wants to give back to them by providing them kids who will care for them in the future.
