Late Summer Sunset on the Mountaintop

 

One of our favorite...
New Summer Camp traditions...








(Cause its happened twice now,





Which makes it a tradition!),



Is when the Ultra-Ranger Hiking Club...



Devotes an evening...

Of the Big Session...



To our...

Now famous,





Sunset Hike.

Yes,

We leave in the middle of dinner...

To get the timing...

Just right...



To hike up the Appalachian Trail...

To the westward facing...



Blue Mountain Overlook...



Just in time...

To watch the sun...













Slowly sink...

Beneath the horizon...

And set us up...

For an...

Adventurous...

Night hike back...

To our summer home at 4-H Camp.



And for Summer '23...

We threw in...

A...

Spur of the moment...

Mountain Top...

Vespers...

While we were at it.

Which is of course,

Now part of the tradition.

Back to Session #5!



Let's...

Hop in...

The...



Ol'...

Camp Time Machine...

And...

Go back...

Exactly...

One month...

To the...

End...

Of...

Session #5,

Our...

BIG...

Session!

Yes,

We had...

Just spent...

The majority...

Of a...

MONTH...

Living...

And...

Laughing...

Together...

Here...

At...

4-H Camp, 

And...

All...

That remained...

On the...

Agenda...

Was...

To spend...

The final...

Hours...

Of Summer '23...

Celebrating...





The community...



We built...

And time...

We spent.







(For our...



CIT IIs...





"Time we spent"...











Includes...







Looking back...

And celebrating...

The...

Many,



Many,

Summers...

That...





Made up...





Their camper days.)



And then,

How do...

We...

Follow up...

Some emotional...



Closing Ceremonies?

By...

Dancing...

(Or...

Camp...

Schmancing...)

The...

Night away,

Of course.

(Special thanks...

To our good...

Friend...

JOEY



For sharing his photos...

So we could all see...

A few previously unseen glimpses of Summer '23.)
