Well, we had a very nice two days so far with very positive comments from our bus drivers, our KOA hosts, and other folks who've seen our middle school students. While each day has brought some challenges, we've risen to the occasion---from setting our tents up IN THE DARK last night to 18 miles of very rough washboard gravel roads today (as we visited Lava Cast Forest) to students working together to prepare food or clean up after eating. Here are a few photos!
