Not fun ti go up, but awesome comming down! I even out ran the cops!!! (Just kidding! Really!) Time to go put on deoderant!!!

Gen 9:8-16

⁸And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, ⁹ And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; ¹⁰ And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. ¹¹ And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. ¹² And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. ¹⁴ And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: ¹⁵ And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

What a joy to lean on God's promises

BSA Troop 777 Summer Camp 2012! Acadia National Park!

Every year, our Scout troop does a summer camp that is rather unconventional. We have gone to Gettysburg, Washington D.C., done 50 mile hikes, 50 mile canoe trips, 150 mile bike rides and others. This year, we went wild and went to Acadia National Park in Down East Maine. We left on the 15th, the day after my birthday, and came home last Sunday, the 21st. Our goal was to do the Cycling Merit Badge and to do about 80 miles of biking, to improve our camp skills like washing dishes, setting up camp in a fast manner, along with going white water rafting at the end of the week.


Here are some pictures from our adventures.




Our bikes in the wagon



The troop trailer



Our campsite

After we set up camp, we went for a hike up a small mountain. It was a really nice hike.

This is one of the trails we took

Random picture of David and I while we stopped for a water break

Back at the campsite, there was a resident rabbit

It was really friendly. It let me get really close so I could get a picture

Our bikes, again

Mason.
Monday, we did a 17 mile bike ride on some carriage roads that are only usable by horses, bikes and foot traffic.

I taped a tape recorder to my bike so I could record and bike at the same time.

We stopped at the bottom of this cool cliff.

Some of the carriage roads

Cooking lunch

One of the gate houses

Bubble pond. This was a really nice place to stop and take pictures.......and let the others catch up.

This T-Shirt is very true. In Maine, the State Bird is the Mosquito an the State Plant is the Rock

Monday night, we went to the Ocean and climbed around on the rocks. The sea fog was really thick so we had no view at all.
I took a picture of myself.

Tuesday, we did a 25 mile bike ride on the "Park Loop Road." It is a paved, one way road that goes by all the major sites in Acadia. It is nice because the road is two lane; one for the cars the other for the bikes!
This was taken a Schooner Head Overlook. We stopped and had lunch here and where able to see a little bit of the ocean.

We saw this lobster boat almost everyday

There was a cave at the overlook. We were not able to go in because the tide was in.

That is someones house.

I was having fun taking pictures of waves....

and trees.

This is one of my favorite pictures. The fog really added neat effect.

I will post the next few days soon.

Ready?

Here is the shocking news! I'M 15!!!!!!!!!WOW!
