Guys Camping Trip

I thought it important to share a little about the guys camping trip and what exactly we did while on the trip. The pictures up top are of the same tree on a gentleman's land that we went for a hike on. His land has had at least three known Indian villages on it at different times in history. We felt like it would be a great opportunity to take a picture under a tree that has had seen so many ceremonies. This was the starting point for the Geo cache activity that we did on Saturday morning. The gentleman that let us use his land was gracious enough to come out and get to know our guys. He was very knowledgeable and taught the guys many things about the Indians and their relationship to Perryton. He taught the guys how to use a metal detector and GPS units.

If you look at the picture of us under the tree, you will see an outcrop in the middle. Our hike ended on top of those rocks, and this was the view that we were looking at the morning.

The guys had a great time looking for our "buried treasure". The treasure was a Sacagawea gold dollar for every camper and student at our school. This was an awesome gift that I believe our students will cherish for years to come.
