Taken this past summer in Montana, in the Beartooth Mountain Range. My good friend Ryan, and, yours truly. I’m the guy in the glasses. This is the first of three Montana themed posts.

Custer National Forest

This was taken during a hike in the Woodbine Campground Area of the Custer Naitonal Forest. We hikle a little over a mike to a spectacular view of a waterfall in the mountians. You can read about this area here.

We have finished our work with campers who are in the foster care system of the state of Montana. We had a wonderful experience loving on these children and enjoying the activities with them. The state of Montana partners with Beartooth Mountain Christian Ranch to provide a camping experience for kids in their foster care system. It was also a bittersweet time, knowing that many of these campers are in hard circumstances in their young lives. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and hope to return next year. This year we took an extra day in our schedule to enjoy this part of the world. This was taken during a hike in the Woodbine Campground Area of the Custer National Forest. We hiked a little over a mile to a spectacular view of a waterfall in the mountains.

Masada

Snake Path

There are two ways to get to the top of Masada… the Snake Path… or…

Masada

…the gondola “path”.  We chose the Snake Path. It is a fairly difficult and fun hike to the top.

 If you ever go to Israel, this is a must see.
