Although the weekend had a couple of wet moments from Mother Nature, it was
a fun time for all.
Nathaniel and Richard checked out the "school room" on
Friday after the storm and later that night the Coleman's and the White's sat around
the campfire roasting biscuits. (Ask Rosane how to do it really tasty!)
Saturday brought more campers and day trippers.
We had Aspen, Sunni, Greg and Trace White, McKenna Hogan and Jo Chappell, Shane
and Xander Butler, Shaun and Jamie Butts, Derek Larsen, Derek's friend
Derek and his two boys, and Richard Coleman start out at the "School
Room" with a little help from Nathaniel.
Nathaniel, Sarah Legg, Rachel Wedge, and Katie and Ellise Shuman at "The
Pipeline". Michelle and Dewi climbed at the Bridge and Corridor.
When Cole Bradburn, Ben and Alex Tresco showed up Nathaniel joined
them to climb at "The Compound". I think the boys were the only one's who didn't
get wet when the afternoon showers hit, either that or they were concentrating
too much on climbing. I will say that Shane did come to our rescue with his big
rainbow umbrella so people could play cards through the storm.
After the storm
some of the campers went back to the school room and the day trippers went home.
That evening we sat around the fire debating on whether Nathaniel gets a dog or
not. It quite entertained the younger climbers for some time and the debate is still going
on.
Sunday the campers decided to try some of the
climbs next to the Pipeline while others went toward the Zen Gardens. Over all I
think the trip was a success and fun!
Next trip .... City of Rocks, Sept. 1-3,
2012. Put it on your calendars now!
