We're on our way home...

Good morning everyone...we're finally on the road home. We left the camp at 6:35 a.m. (mountain time zone), and at this very moment (7:34 a.m.) we're cruising through the bustling metropolis of Pinedale, Wyoming. The bus is relatively quiet. There are a few blank stares, some are already asleep, and a few are playing video games.

Yesterday was a great day. We actually finished all the (giant) logs they had laid out for us. According to the camp director, Mr. Dean Loftus, no work group had ever done as much as we did. If you know your wood here's how much we cut and stacked: 45-47 full cords. That's just a number of course. You'd have to be here to see how much that is. For those of you who don't know "cords," here's the number in cubic feet: 5,760. Wow. Everyone worked so hard. You'll hear more about that on Sunday morning.

The picture you are seeing is part of the celebration we had late afternoon yesterday when we finished the task. At the beginning of the week we weren't sure we'd finish and it was a jubilant celebration. Not all the wood we cut and stacked is in this pile you see. We took a lot of it around to cabins and different places around the camp and stacked it there.

We'll try to post again today as we travel to Rapid City, SD. We should be seeing Mount Rushmore tonight. Sorry we haven't been able to post much since we did not have a connection to the internet.
