Little Sahara Campout

Hello again everyone!

This past weekend, we had a campout in the Little Sahara Recreational Area. It was really fun, because we invented a new sport called "Dune Jumping"

It's sort of like the long jump, but off a cliff onto an angled sand dune.

We also played Redneck Shirtless Barefoot Desert Capture-the-Flag (RSBDCTF). That was true fun, because there is no disguise like tan pants and no shirt against the sand at night.

We did get GoPro footage of the dune-jumping, and my good friend Jacob is getting an edit done, and you will be able to view it shortly after it is finished. I will also find a good video of my own uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

Until Next Time-
