RA November Camping Trip

November 11-12, 2005

We had big plans for a campout at Bent Tree this weekend, but it turned off very cold and all the boys except one stayed home. Johnny and Rod took Jeremy Jones up to camp in the house, and Brenda went along to fix breakfast for us and wound up fixing supper as well since we were at the house. Even with the cold, we hiked up to the top of Oglethorpe Mountain. Jeremy enjoyed climbing on our old climbing tree on the side of Oglethorpe.

The trick was to navigate this long springy stretch of the leaning tree and then to transfer to a vertical tree to get back down. Jeremy was apprehensive, but with Johnny's help and encouragement, he made it. He was excited about having done it after he got back down.
