We're finally back from our epic adventure to Gillette, Wyoming for the Pathfinder camporee! It was a long and winding journey. Thank you to the Aitken family who housed us in Denver, Colorado before reaching Gillette, and for guiding us on our Rocky Mountain hikes. Upon arrival at Gillette, we were able to connect with people from all over the world, participate in pin trading and onsite activities, and enjoy watching a performance about Moses. We even braved a strong storm, but thankfully experienced only minor water damage. Although the Camporee was shortened one day due to weather, we took this opportunity to explore the surrounding sites. From the awe-inspiring Devils Tower to the Buffalo standoff in Custer State Park, we were amazed by the natural wonders of the West. Standing before Mount Rushmore was humbling, and investigating the largest Mammoth bone site was very interesting. Lastly, we explored the rugged beauty of the Badlands, a truly unique landscape. We're grateful for the memories made and thankful that God gave us traveling mercies. Looking forward to the next camporee in 2029 in Gillette, Wyoming to see the play about Elijah! Thank you Rick and church members for your prayers and support!
