This weekend I was able to lead the youth group on a trip to the Daks. We had a great time. Good weather, bugs weren't bad at all (this is usually the peak of black fly season) and lots of fun activities. We hiked mountains, went whitewater rafting on the Indian/Hudson rivers (sorry, not taking my camera on the raft) and did the usual camping things. I never grow tired of seeing and experiencing God's beauty.
