time to head back to the vehicles

So the group is ready to head back the three miles in the hot
afternoon sun to the cars. they look up to the challenge. I gave
Natalie Bradshaw my camera so the rest of the pics are courtesy of her
Tiffany and Chris Bettencourt, n Zack Appling

Part of the challenge was that a good part of the trail was sand so
made it more difficult.














The kids did great. I started out first and yes they passed me by
so I was the last to arrive. There were even some who took wrong
turns and after backtracking even got there before I did. But with
lots of patience , help and encouragement I made it back. I made
several realizations about myself. I need to lose lots of weight and get
in way better shape. So I'm telling people so that I have accountability.
Side note my camera got dropped in the creek briefly so wasn't
working for pics on way back to camp. we will open it up and pack it
in rice I'm told this will work...and works onphones...good to know.
Went back to camp and hit the couch, my head was pounding and I
couldn't get enough water in me. After 2 Excedrin, some rest, fun
conversation and a Dr Pep courtesy of Br Carroll Thanx !!!!! I felt
great and was ready for a wonderful dinner. Pulled beef over rice, it tasted
wonderful. Than we had lots of homemade ice cream. I only tried two the
raspberry my favorite and the citrus also yoummy.
