Wyoming Expedition Andrew Sanchez

Andrew Sanchez

Our final expedition started out as all of the other ones have for the past four months, with a long car, and plane ride. The first thing we did after landing was eat at a Mexican restaurant to celebrate one of our counselors birthday.

          We then spent the rest of the night driving to our campsite, and then setting up our sleeping gear at said campsite.

The next day we drove to a nice little campsite called The Wind River campground.  After a good night’s sleep, we relaxed in the Star Plunge hot springs. This hot springs also happened to have a “diving”(I put this in quotations because diving wasn’t allowed) board and two slides, though only one of the two was open.

          Our next sleeping ground that I remember was Eagle View Ranch. Unfortunately, our first backcountry experience was cancelled, so we instead camped in a canyon only a few miles from EVR (Eagle View Ranch). Our next activity was the Adopt a highway program where we cleaned up a section of highway. We then participated in Riflery. Our next activity was sledding, but unfortunately this too we were unable to do, so we instead sat around the fire and played games.

          Our next night was spent at a KOA located in Salt Lake City. This was the last night of our last Expedition out in the west. We then took a plane back to Atlanta, and arrived in North Carolina at about 3:00 Am.
