Home-ish

So I know I haven't written anything in a long time, but in my defense, camp has been occupying all my time. This is an update of my life and a plan for the next couple days.

Katie and I finished up camp on Sunday. Mrs. Taber let us crash her house for the next couple of days. Yesterday, we departed for and arrived at Big Lake Youth Camp. Many Walla Wallaians greeted us warmly. However, the weather greeted us much more frigidly. First, Jon taught Katie and I the basics of wind surfing in less than ten minutes. While I'm most certain we were horrible students, at least Jon had some good laughs. By the end of it, Katie and I were both shivering violently but glad we tried it. A cold night outdoors reminded us that we were higher in the mountains than Sunset.

I now author from the residence of Tyler and Brielle in Walla Walla. Partying will be happening at least until dark but potentially not much more. Amber and Ethan are here and their normal selves. The plan so far contains two steps. 1.) Determine what the plan is 2.) Execute the plan upon decision.

Tomorrow begins the good part of the road trip home. Tomorrow night will be spent in Idaho, just a few miles from the Montana and Wyoming borders. The next two nights hopefully will be inside Yellowstone National Park although those can't be reserved, which makes life very difficult and unpredictable. Sunday night will be in South Dakota. Monday night will be in Minnesota. Finally, a grueling drive awaits. Just shy of 1,000 miles is our last leg. From the middle of Minnesota all the way home.

But now I must sleep to survive another day behind the wheel.
