Men and Boy's Campout, August 2007

This year Jake got to go on the Men and Boy's Campout trip that our church has. It was so sad, because last year he did not get to go because we were just moving here and had been on our honeymoon and it was time to go back to work. Needless to say, Jake was very excited to go on the trip. He packed all his things and headed out on Thursday night after work. Here are the rest of the details in his words...The first three pictures are of the drive in to the camping area. We were in the mountains of North Idaho.

Unfortunately, we did not see any of the bears that live in this habitat.
We went on a hike above Moose Lake. This is the lake that you will see in the next pictures. The scenery was breath taking but again we didn't see any big animals.
This is my tent. I borrowed it from my father-in-law. The next three pictures are of Moose Lake. Our hike leader has seen seven moose at one time here at the lake. You will notice in all the pictures that the moose were hiding that day. Someday, I will see a moose in the Great Northwest.


We enjoyed God's creation and a special time of fellowship and relaxation. I was reminded of the verse in Psalm 19:1..."The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork." Until next year, thanks for checking in with us.

Hi Amy,
Ok, are you in Alberta or Washington??? :) Those picture look just like Alberta. I guess it's the same part of the country. Just found your blog and wanted to say "hi" I did not know that you got married! Congratulations! We live pretty close. How far are you from Edmonton?? It's probably not close, but it's closer than TN!
