Climb On!
Bold West 3 is taking on California!
The last time we wrote was day 1 of Vegas. Day 2 in Vegas was A BLAST! I was nervous about this portion of the trip and the group had so much fun and we all stayed safe! After roller coasters, burgers at the famous Fat Burger restaurant, swimming in the pool, 104 degrees F., shopping at the Caesars Palace, arcades, sight seeing, tons of pics, seeing the lions at MGM, and trying to stay cool in the Vegas heat we were exhausted and had a great dinner of pizza back at the hotel! Since then we have fallen in love with the beauty that California has to offer in Sequoia where we saw a bear, a tarantula, and the grand General Sherman tree and near Yosemite where we camped for three nights in a secluded area of world class rock climbing. Everyone did the 50 meter repel, conquered fears, learned to belay and trust each other, and climbed till our fingers got raw! The group was motivated to get up at 4:30 this morning to view the sunrise over Mammoth Mt after a 30 minute hike up, and it was truly amazing!! We are now looking forward to showers and the beauty that Yosemite has to offer!
We are feasting on student cooked meals and laughing all day long! We look forward to mail in Santa Cruz for the parents and friends that are viewing our site! Otherwise we cannot believe the trip is reaching the half way point and we are psyched for the rest of the trip!
Thank you for your amazing kids!
Nicole, Ben and the BW3 Crew loving the AAVE Life!
