2012 Cavemen Cross Country's High Altitude Camp

 Scout Falls

       Soon after my family moved here to Utah, I joined the American Fork School's Cross-Country team.  They invited me to go to a high altitude running camp with them, and I gladly accepted.  The picture below shows us all gathered around a campfire after a tiring day of running and climbing up to Scout Falls.  This camp was a real blast.

This was the end-of-camp 5x1600 race. 

Our team ended up doing very well, coming in first. 

I was our team's starting runner.

 Jace was our second. 

Morgan was our third runner

Maddie was our fourth runner

Tyler was our anchor

Zions Young Men Camp

I went to a Camp called Zions Camp this past week from Monday to Saturday.  The group I went down with had a lot of fun.  The first day of camp, we went hiking through a downpour of rain  (A rare occurrence in Utah nowadays).  On day two, we went boating, and saw a rescue helicopter fly overhead.  Day three was archery and shotgun shooting day.  Last, but not least we went to the Manti temple on day four.  If I were to pick one day that meant the most to me, I'd say it was Friday, when we visited the temple.  Sports and thrills are fun and all, but they don't have nearly as much meaning as the temple trip did.  I'm really glad I went on this camp with the 34th Ward.

My friend, Kysen, is a pretty good knife-thrower.

This little guy lived a foot above our tent.

Everything got soaked on Saturday after a downpour of rain swept in.

It took us a while to get out of the mud on Saturday morning.
