Camp Loll Alumni Reunion

August 1st-3rd we had the opportunity to go to a scout camp called Camp Loll. Camp Loll is about an hour into the Tetons, right on the border of Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Travis spent every summer through high school working at this camp and they had a huge Alumni Reunion. Friday night we drove to a place called Flagg Ranch, parked the truck and slept in the bed of the truck. Saturday was when the fun started. We woke up, drove the rest of the way to Camp Loll. On our drive this female moose walked right in front of us.



We were a little early so we decided to go on a 2 mile hike to a waterfall called Terrace Falls with two other Alumni that we ran into named Boyd and Kent Davis.

After lunch we were able to go try out the water front and some repelling. Trav was daring enough to do a water check and jump into the 52 degree water (which he says is warm compared to when he used to have to do it . . .).

Then we ate dinner and headed out for the flag ceremony and camp fire. It was tons of fun. The next morning we were able to attend church. Camp Loll contains one of the few dedicated outdoor chapels. It was a really neat experience to be surrounded by such beautiful scenery while at church. Here's some of the pictures of the view from the chapel.

And a few more miscellaneous pics . . .

Overall it was an amazing trip. I loved seeing another part of Trav's life before me, and what a special place it truly is.

How surreal to have church outdoors. I hope that catches on in Salt Lake. I can think of a lot of places to hold church outdoors.
