Explorers <\/strong>are riding into Graceland as I write this with cheers from the Adventurer<\/strong> pals who are finishing up packing in their gear after ride-in this morning. Ride-in for Adventurer is quite the thing to see\u2014check out the photos and videos on SmugMug for a taste of what it looks and feels like\u2014but watching them come over to Graceland and cheer on their fellow campers is just as beautiful. Adventurers had several delightful days on their ride-in toward camp. They had some bike trouble up near Manistee so our 4T Coordinator David went up and did some quick repairs so they could keep moving forward. From there it was easy riding all the way back to camp. Our Explorers experienced some pretty intense thunderstorms after getting into their campground last night, but thankfully the wonderful campground owners opened up their indoor space for them to sleep in. We\u2019re so grateful that everyone was able to be safe and sound inside during the night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Voyageurs <\/strong>are mere miles from camp as I write this. They\u2019re being transported to our Well Site camping location for the night to be ready for ride-in tomorrow morning. We\u2019ll bring them pizza and sit by the campfire with them tonight while they tell us all about their adventures.<\/p>\n Odyssey <\/strong>campers are in Michigan and are riding to our registrar Cassidy\u2019s farm to camp tonight. We\u2019ll drive out in just a little while to meet them and provide all the necessary supplies for a celebratory cookout. They\u2019ve had two days on a bus riding back from New Hampshire so we know they\u2019re ready for some good food and time with Cassidy\u2019s cows and pigs (and dogs). We can\u2019t wait to see everyone.<\/p>\n A final note: Thank you all so much for following along this summer. It\u2019s been an incredible summer of adventure, stunning landscapes, positive mobile communities, and life-changing experiences and we\u2019re so grateful to be able to facilitate that for all of our campers. Check out the SmugMug for our final photos of the session and we\u2019ll see all of you in just a few short days when we close it all out!<\/p>\n Andrew<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s time for the final Four Trails Update of the summer. Tomorrow is an exciting day for Four Trails as all the campers return from their adventures and we have Voyageur and Odyssey ride-in. The next few days of camp are about closing it all out and enjoying the company of the community we\u2019ve built together these past few weeks … <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_1493-640x480.jpg\")
