Devon leaves for High Adventure!

Devon has been preparing for this trip for 8 weeks - riding a mountain bike on local trails, running and biking around the neighborhood.

all packed up and ready to go

Monday Devon plus four other boys (Ethan Hansen, Ephriam Hansen, James Cluff, and Riley Burton) and three leaders (Brandon White, Tyler Madsen, and Jim Brovont) left at 3:00 am to drive to New River Gorge in West Virginia for fives days of high adventure activities.

CREW:  Devon Lowe, Ethan Hansen, Leader Brandon White,
Ephriam Hansen, Riley Burton and James Cluff.

Monday - they hope to arrive and be set up by 10:00 to start their mountain bike route.  Their goal is anywhere from 57 to 100 miles.  I know Devon is ready and anxious to get in the mud.  Monday it rained all day, so they were riding in rain for most of it.

Tuesday - they boys and leaders will white water raft the lower New River.  This section of the river has four category five rapids.  Betsy wasn't to thrilled to hear how dangerous this section of the trek would be, but really can't do anything about it - so … there.

Wednesday - Devon and the boys will climb and incredible section of the New River Gorge and then rappel that cliff.  Should be fun.

Thursday - Devon and the guys will start off on a two day backpacking trip along the Appalachian Mountain trail.  They will camp on the trail.



Friday - they will continue the trail - then head home.  They are expected late Friday night.
