 Hello Family and Friends... This is Wilbur the Blog Master!!! Sorry about the late blogs. We had to get up @ 4:00AM.... Whew!!! Long Day!! But... here it is.What a Beautiful morning. Here is our mighty steed the "Tank"!!!!!  We Loved waking up to Licky Vicky's lovely voice once again VERY early in the morning. But we did catch up on time and sleep while heading to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. The Caverns smelled like bat guano and felt like being in a huge freezer with no ice cream. Stressful as it was, the hike into the caverns was an amazing experience for all of us. After we reloaded back onto the Frank the Tank mobile, The Miss America, and Carolina Panther we were off to Roswell, NM. Reaching our destination we were greeted by Col. Duncan from the New Mexico Military Institute where we also received a tour of the grounds. But our minds weren't the only things being exercised; we busted our buns doing just a little taste of the Air force Academy fitness training. We were also lucky enough to receive a VERY RARE speech from Donald R. Burleson. To reward us for our efforts Vicky Licky had another surprise; POOL AND HIGH DIVE!!! Then we ended the night under the gorgeous star filled sky looking for UFO's. Signing out Group Sleepy; Ben Misay, Mason Blair, Will Bridges, Layne Davis, Kevin Elmore, Anna Elzey, Emily Gibbings, Devin Madden, Brittany McCarthy, Annsley Stroupe, Lindsey White, Ryan Williford Randall Threlkeld had an amazing nap this morning.  Wonderful Day on the bus!!!!  Here we are at Carlsbad Caverns!!   Laura Beth Brumfield and Amber Carver enjoy a little cave dwelling.  A little exercise did us some good at the New Mexico Military Institution!!!  Jake Flowers and R-Bex show off their jumping skills.  We had so much going on yesterday that we were to busy to cook so The V bought us dinner...Hooray!!!!!!  Counselor's Corner - Wow, what an amazing group of young people. I cannot begin to say enough good things about this group. I love every single one of them. This could be the best group of young people that has ever been out west. The bonding and friendships that have been made are already so strong and it is only day 4. I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the next 19 days. - The Wilbur |
