Hill Country Camp, Kerrville, Texas

We've put a few miles on since I last posted. I'll try and fill in the blanks eventually, but for now... We're in Texas! Back home everyone is digging out of the snow. This week I'm diggin out my sandals because it's in the mid to upper 70s.

What are we doing in Texas? We're working at the Hill Country Camp in Kerrville!!!

Dan is getting to play in the dirt, digging trenches, moving dirt, and digging in the hillside in preparation for a new sewage treatment facility and a new conference center.

Judi is working in the office, and, as soon as camps begin in Feb., the kitchen.

Here are some pictures taken today from around the camp. The sun is out,there's a slight breeze is in the air and birds are chirping.  A great day for a walk and capturing some of the sights.
Y'all enjoy!



Let's take a walk up Prayer Mountain!

The Cross, where campers can go to be closer to God...


..and leave their troubles.
