CAMP NEVER ALONE

Outdoors with Jesus led the hikes for Camp Never Alone. 











We hiked to the Summit of BALD MOUNTIAN for a breathe taking lunch. Then we hiked around beautiful MIRROR LAKE.

CAMP NEVER ALONE was a singles camp that Mark Anderson organized at the BEAR RIVER CAMP in Wyoming.   The camp has places to set up tents or cabins to sleep in. We had nature walks seeing the sunset, campfires, water color class, fishing trips, and fun at the swimming hole.
This a Christian Camp that is located by the Mirror Lake Highway on the Wyoming/Utah border. 



One of the highlights of the camp was the hike to RUTH LAKE.   This is an easy hike with incredible scenery.

GOOD NEWS JAIL and PRISON MINISTRY BICYCLE RIDE










Jesus gave us a beautiful day riding the parkway trails in Park City, Utah.  

The Good news Jail ride raises support for the Good News Jail and Prison Ministry, supporting the chaplains serving in the Salt Lake County Jail.   Participants received a T shirt, and a great BBQ lunch.   There were great prizes given away too.   If you missed this year's event, join us next year.
Outdoors With Jesus is one of the many sponsors who helped support this event.  
A special thanks to Jack and Mary who helped put this fantastic ride and lunch together and Shepherd of the Mountain Lutheran Church in Park City, Utah.

SMITH MOOREHOUSE ADVENTURE










It was wonderful being up in God's forest, hearing birds, seeing wildflowers, and hiking by a beautiful reservoir.  

Today we hiked twice,  once in the morning and after lunch.  
Smith Moorehouse Reservoir is located up Weber Canyon, from Oakley, Utah.
The first hike we went over the dam to the other side and walked around 1 hour, while some went fishing.
The second hike we drove to Trail 001 and hike 1 hour, out and back.
