Back from camping at Fall Creek Falls. It was fun. The 2 things which had been a downer last year – the rough sleeping and the cold showers – were eliminated this year. I came prepared. I got an air mattress…left over from my El Salvador trip. This made sleeping much more comfortable. Also I was able to get a warm shower each morning as long as I got up at 7AM.
On Friday night we found out a 61 year old man fell 65 feet to his death around the Cascade area. He was from Alabama. It was a sad story. I think the last time I heard of someone falling was when 2 student from Lipscomb High School fell a few years ago. That made big news in Nashville since there were Nashville ties. But I’d be pretty sure someone fell inbetween those times. Seems inevitable.
We had 120 for services on Sunday morning. We just had worship on a campsite. Everyone brought their own chairs.
During a ballgame Sean Speight pulled his ACL when stepping into a hole. Went to the hospital for it. Came back with a brace and crutches.
Rained on Sunday afternoon. It always rains. I guess that’s camping for you. This year the rain lasted longer than last year.
We did have racoons to visit us each night. Some of them were quite strong. We saw them tipping over the metal trash can lids to get food.
Overall I’d say I had a good time. It was great to spend some quality time with church friends.
