Tim led an expedition up the mountain to find three caves. It turned into a four hour "hike". Some of the hiking was on rather narrow rocky outcroppings. One of the caves appeared to be actively used by a cougar. Another was the home of a bat.
Wood carving turned into a group activity, while weary hikers looked for a quiet activity to rest their weary bones. Howard found a dead standing fir tree and went at it. Eventually, a face emerged from the tree. It is funny to look into the woods and see a face looking back at you.
Jack Teeter, our resident "Elder" for the camp told a lot of funny stories. After a while, we noticed a pattern in the stories. At some point, he would say, "...and after I regained consciousness..." and we would laugh. He is definitely a risk taker. Then he led into a talk from his heart about choices we all face. He quoted from Scripture, "choose life, or death, what will it be?" That led into a round the fire time of sharing from the other counselors. Some good thoughts to go to bed by.
