Another day spent at Summit Adventure after a long night of homework. I awoke to the smell of french toast and bacon, none of which was burnt! After doing some cleaning and various chores, we went into town for a couple of hours to send out newsletters and to get supplies four out trip to Baja. We hit up Radio Shack and a couple of thrift stores. I bought a bomb pair of sandals. However, they ended up being orthopedic sandals, more than likely worn by someone who is dead now. I shall carry on their legacy. All jokes aside, it was great to be able to spend on more day at Summit before leaving for good. We ate a conglomeration of leftovers for supper and we were treated to an XXXL brownie cake monster. Solid choice on the pecans and the size of the brownie. Cody got to teach us on his "Mountain Lion stalks group" incident scenario and Liv taught the group on her "Lightning Strikes" incident scenario. Her topic sparked discussion and curiosity as we found out that Jeff had been struck on 3 separate occasions. Now we know that Jeff is a great conductor of electricity. We also got to hear about how a deer jumped over his shoulder and how the mountain lion chasing it almost ran over Jeff. Luckily the lion applied the brakes and did a 180 degree turn before reaching Jeff. I doubt that lion wanted a piece of Jeff, it probably knew better. I got to finish watching my B class movie last night, "Attack of the Herbals." It was so God awful that it came back around, full circle, and ended up being a pretty comical movie. (highly recommend that anyone watch it). I shut my laptop and got ready for bed. As I lay there, I remember the conversation I had with my father the night before. My sister got engaged, my other sister got a second job as an artist in Minneapolis, my brother was back in Wisconsin with his wife and 2 daughters (one of which I haven't got to see yet), and my youngest brothers college football team is top of the conference his first year as a starter. I am reminded that so much happens in the span of a couple of months, especially when I don't have many means of talking to people. I can't wait to tell them all what has happened on my side... but that will have to wait. Still got another month of traveling and adventures ahead of me.
