O-Kun-De-Kun Falls: An Adventure

The middle of May found Skyler with a few other young men from ITC up in Northern Michigan on a backpacking adventure--the reward of a challenge designed to motivate each involved to seek the Lord and endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. The guys enjoyed themselves immensely! Pictures are obviously a li'l late in coming, but better late than never...here are a few that captured their time in the North quite well.



Exhausted already now that they finally have their packs on. ;-)




Enjoying a lunch of MREs.









Not exactly a difficult feat, but after hiking eight miles with a 50-lb pack, anything makes you feel victorious.



The camp site.



Preparing breakfast--pancakes, bacon and eggs.



No camping experience is ever complete or thoroughly enjoyed without coffee. Ask Patrick.









The snapping turtle Skyler found while hiking and ended up carrying it nearly 10 miles just so Micah could take a picture of it!



After their hike back, the Conference Center was a welcome sight!





Kayaking on Wolf Lake at the Northwoods.
