YW Camp

Rachel and Annie went to ward young women camp up in the White Mountains. Here's their summary of camp: 

On the way up I (Annie) rode up in Sister Howell's house and listened to Les Miserables music and learned all about the storyline. We stopped at a stream with boardwalks and ate lunch there before continuing on to our final location. 

It was a pretty typical camp, camping in tents. The worst part was that the bathrooms were just a bucket with a bag that we had to change out like 5 times a day. It was the worst.

One thing we did was drive around with flashlights trying to spot elk. One ran right in front of our car. 

We also went to some ancient Native American ruins. It was pretty cool. There was pottery shards on the ground and we saw a barn owl.

The sleep was not the best. Rachel slept horribly the first night, then got permission to sleep by Grandma Knight in the main cabin the 2nd night, and the last night got to share the cabin with Chloe, one of her best buds, who was there as a graduated senior and 18 year old, and therefore as a leader, so had her own quarters. Rachel saw that the Lord could turn that hard thing (no sleep, super hard 1st full day of camp) into something good (hanging out with Chloe one on one for one last time before Chloe heads off to college).
