The Youth Group spent the weekend wrestling the elements! We saw a bobcat looking to chase down a small deer on Friday night around midnight. This was happening about 30 feet from our campsite but thanks to our flashlights, the bobcat ran away. Then we had a skunk visit the campsite a little while after that! Luckily, he didn't stink the place up and we were able to get some sleep.
When we woke up Saturday morning, we went on a 2-mile hike that included a "perilous ridge" and "attack of the ticks". Once we got back to the campsite, we dressed for the water and met up with a group called the Foresters who fed us an awesome lunch of BBQ burgers and then paid for all of us to get into the Mustang Water Slide park. That was a blast! Everybody had fun going in the kiddie pool, the water slides, and the hot tubs. My little Derek went on every slide, including the "half pipe" - talk about a brave little dude!
Finally, it was time for us to leave... but wait! The girls decided they wanted to stay another night! I had to get home to finalize a sermon for this morning so I took off with Dante and Chris but Lance decided to stay the next night with the girls to help them feel safer! How nice? So, Bobbie, Dorian, Derek, Lance, Gina, Lauren, Katelyn, and Julie all stayed the next night!
So it's Sunday morning and I'm almost off to church and I haven't heard from them yet. As soon as I do, I will let you know how Night 2 went!
God Bless!
