The Wheel in the Sky

Wheel in the Sky

We are proud to announce that Will’s father, Mr. Chad S, made it down safely at about dusk last night. We are equally happy to announce that today is Mr. S’s birthday. Hopefully the blogs will be more regular from this point onward, as Mr. S is the usual blogmaster for our troop; there should hopefully be more pictures from this point onward, as well. This post comes to you from the mighty Young Will, who will relate to you the events of today thus far.

“In the morning, we had a special treat: eggs. And cupcakes, which were for my dad’s birthday. Then, Louie took his second bath of the trip… and nobody else has taken any. Then we drove out on our way to rafting. But, as we said earlier, nothing goes as planned for us. The water was too shallow, so we could only ride duckies for the next two days. Fortunately, with former experience in a duckie, we didn’t go. Instead, we decided to go the Blackwater Falls, since we had all of our swimming gear with us still. But again, nothing goes as planned, and we weren’t allowed to swim at Blackwater Falls. We did, however, go down to see the falls and while down there, we found we found some graffiti which said: ‘Will was here.’ Of course, it looked like my handwriting. Next, we went up to the Gift Shops and then went to the Blackwater Falls Lodge to go to the bathroom. From there, we headed toward the Wind Farm, stopping at Mt. Storm Lake. We all saw these huge windmills.” Luke added: “they’re like giant wheels in the sky”

An excellent summary from Master William. Well, we are now over the hump with the trip; four days preceded this one, three days will follow. So far, our trip has been a memorable one. Who knows what the next few days have in store? We’re on our way back to the campsite right now. Keep it real.

Oh, by the way, Mr. S was able to add some slideshows of pictures from previous days. Check ‘em out.
