Soundview Expedition

Every summer Grover and Goni help out with a summer youth camp expedition in the Columbia River Gorge. For one week we camp, hike, canoe, whitewater raft and in general have fun. This year we had 13 kids and the weather was really good. This year our nephews Drew Bradley and Alex Allen went along and had a great time!

Our tent trailer (aka: The Palace) and Goni's camping kitchen.
The campers and counselors all slept in two man (or woman) tents.
Our first hike was to the top of Beacon Rock

I'm jealous! I've done two white-water rafting trips, and they were both tons of fun.

Hey no mention of the cookie rescue? I'm so sad to have missed the white water rafting. That's my favorite part of summer. Next year, I'm in! Who will watch my kid?
