>From comments I've seen and people I've met at the PTC, I estimate that
99% of the spouses who participate in the PTC spouses program are not
bored and have an excellent time.

My wife is among the 1% who thought otherwise. But she had taken part in
two regular backpacking treks, two autumn adventures and spent a week at
Wood Badge at Zastrow by the time she participated in the spouses program
at the PTC in 1999. She did enjoy the crafts projects but she wanted to
attend a Conference the next time we were at the PTC so she did last
summer.
