Backpackers back at base camp.
Executive Director David Perry called in about noon to report that everyone survived the backpacking, despite some blisters and altitude sickness. Ranch Director Bill VonderMehden wins the prize for being the only person to make the peak climb. He also wins the prize for having the biggest blister. David reported that the scenery was beautiful and they saw a lot of wildlife. They actually had wildlife walking through their camp, including two moose. They saw lots of elk and deer.
David and Bill were making their phone call from the First Baptist Church of Creede (pictured to the right). A group of houseparents stayed behind at base camp instead of backpacking. They have attended FBC of Creede on three occasions during the backpacking (including a covered dish meal). The church also allowed them to use their showers. David and Bill had just received their invitation to use the showers. I guess you could say they were "happy campers."
Thank you First Baptist Church of Creede.
