This past week Cory went on the ward High Adventure Summer Camp. Dad Tagged along because he thinks he's still a kid. They started out on a 2 1/2 day river trip down the Colorado River near Moab. It was great fun with nice warm weather and a river to cool off in. Cory earned his whitewater merit badge along with the rest of the group. Ralph saw what it's like to get tossed out of a kayak into a whirlpool rapid.

Later in the week they went to a place called Horse Shoe Canyon. This place is world famous, having some of the most spectacular Indian Art in the world. They got to see it up close.

Next they went to a remote place in Canyonlands National Park called the Doll House. It's called the Doll House because there are hundreds of rock formations that look like dolls standing about. It took them seven hours on rough 4 wheel drive roads the reach their destination. Ralph hiked 10 miles round trip to see the place where the Green and Colorado Rivers combine into one big freakin river. Cory hike 1200 ft and a few miles down to the river from their campsite. The problem was that they had to hike back up to get back to camp.

They had a great time and everyone involved came back with big smiles covering their faces.
