Way Out West Did you go on vacation this summer? Students from Broad¬ way did, 25 of them went with the Brethren National Youth Conference on a small tour of the western United States. Leaving August 1 7, they took six Greyhound buses on the 1 500 mile journey. Stopping in South Dakota on the way, they got to see Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Threatened with 30 days in jail, the group settled for just looking and decided against climbing it. Once they arrived in Colorado, they went to Estes Park where they stayed for four days. While there, they had a variety of things to do. An indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and a recreational department took up most of their time. In the mornings and evenings they would get together and have a small wor¬ ship service. When asked what made Colorado different from the Shenandoah Valley, one student stated that the mountains were higher and much more jagged. Snow was everywhere,” stated Lisa Spitzer. On the group’s return trip they stopped in St. Louis, Mis¬ souri and were given a ride to the top of the Gateway Arch. They also ate at McDonalds and Bur¬ ger King, which is no big experi¬ ence, except that they were along the Missouri River. Domi¬ nique Branner stated The trip itself was an experience that I don’t think anyone will ever forget. Although it was mis¬ erable getting there, it was well worth it. ” The Badlands were one of many scenic views on the way to Colorado. Lisa Spitzer and Candee Cline seem to enjoy the bus trip to Colorado. Summer 13
