We returned right on schedule from our West Virginia mountains adventure to a parking lot filled with excited parents. The boys were pretty excited too. They would soon be off to a "quiet" lunch without 19 new and old buddies and would soon get to see their home, siblings, other parents, pets, and their own beds.
But I can also tell you, I imagine most of the boys (if not all) will also miss the daily adventures that would unfold each morning in West Virginia. They might even miss cramming into a couple of vans not knowing where we're going to eat until we actually drove up into the parking lot or not knowing what activities might happen on any given day until they were announced the night before.
And I also imagine, and I hope, that most of these boys will be with us on another trip in the future. Some are already signed up and I know others will follow.
It was fast-paced week with a great group of campers. I would also like to acknowledge how wonderful, kind, and patient my leaders were. Thanks to Howard Yarborough, Doug Williams, and Brent Roberts for giving up their valuable time to serve as staff. You guys were the best.
And you campers...you were great! Lots of compliments (after a slow start) and lots of good times. I miss you already.

Here's the group at the Greenbrier Resort after our tour of "The Bunker." I like this photo because it's just about the only time you would ever see this group looking so "spiffy."
