Friday is fun day!

Today was a great day.  The food was not Philmont food, the activities did not just include trail building or cutting back slope and even though thunderstorms pestered us all afternoon the show still did a wonderful job in the drill hall.

With today being recreation day all of the guests had a chance to get out and do something fun for all their hard work in the past week.  Many of the guests did whitewater rafting on the New River Gorge National River.  The ones who did not, had activities that included maountain biking, rock climbing, and even zip line. All of the guests had a blast not only at their activity but also building theur bonds of friendship with the people they had just met.

After the activity all of the guests went over to a lake where a pig roast was held for OA members only.  The pig roast included a whole pig along with various sides to help supplement the glorious taste of the pig. 


Once all of the guests had been fed the staff got a warning for thunderstorms and directed all of the participants to inside the armory where it is safer from many more of the elements. 

As the old saying goes "The show must go on" this holds especially ture for shows.  They must be "Rigidly Flexible" and be able to help others around you at all times.
