The Infamous Campout

Here Michael finds his way through a tunnel under the road. It was one of the many obstacles we had to navigate on the way to the camp site.

Yes, we did signal to a real plane. Everyone got to practice their signaling skills.

This is the girls shelter that they slept in. They were pretty brave. Even when they heard the mysterious screaming in the night.

This is one of the guys shelters. Pretty good for no tools!

Andrew was the first to finish his shelter. Looks pretty cozy.

This is everyone signaling to the plane. We used smoke, orange panels, and signal mirrors.

Here, Tommy has mastered the art of the signal mirror. The pilot said that you all did a great job with the signals and the signal mirror was by far the most effective.

Nothing like a good Smore (or a frog in Mile's case) after a hard day of hiking. We did eat a few insects and a lizard, not the greatest meal we ever had but it would do in a pinch.

Good Morning! Bright and early. Not everyone is too cheerful in the morning.

This was taken after the long hike home. In the words of Kyle and Angie, you guys did

"Wicked Awesome". John and I were so proud of you. It won't be the last time we'll do something like this.

I am so proud of you all for learning the survival skills and doing your memory verses and for completing your books. Remember all you have learned and use it to serve the Lord. I look forward to the next study that we do. You guys are a joy to teach.
