| Buffalo in Custer State Park |
A very long time ago when I was in college I worked a few summers at a church camp called Outlaw Ranch. It is located in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota not far from Mount Rushmore.
This past July I spent 3 weeks at Outlaw as a volunteer. It was great being back there. Over the years I have taken families and youth to Outlaw for a week at a time. The days are filled with activities like horseback riding, hiking, swimming, group games, great food, campfires and singing.
For those 3 weeks I served as a dining room host. What that meant is I did dishes mostly. I actually enjoyed it. For 3 hours around each meal I worked with a few others to prepare the hall for the campers then cleaned up after them. It was at times very busy but never hard and always with great people around.
During my off hours I hiked a bit, drove up to see Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse carving, herds of buffalo in Custer State Park and even drove into Rapid City to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 2.
I had a great time.
