My Order of the Arrow Lodge had a great time this week end duing a service project for one of our council's camps, Cherry Valley. It was a great time. My chapter, Hunkpapa, had th most Arrowmen participate in the service project.
We had the opportunity to rebuild 2 trails. I helped to rebuild one trail which overlooked the Pacific Ocean. We had great food for Saturday and 1/2 a day on Sunday. We were able to receive free boat travel over to Catalina Island because of the service project.
It had threatened to rain all week end but only rained hard after midnight, just like the weatherman said, on Friday night. Saturday was a beautiful blue sky day on Catalina Island.
After the work was completed we had a great dinner, campfire, then a tour of an old silver mine on the camp. The silver mine explained the 2 gravesites which were on the trail we rebuilt that day. I receive some California history that day. What a filling day!
This was my first trip to Camp Cherry Valley, CCV. I hope Jesus grants me the opportunity to come back many more times to help with the maintenance of CCV. If you ever have the opporunity you should visit CCV.
