Iron Rod Experience

What a great idea! The Young Women leaders planned a really cool Iron Rod activity for the girls. We camped out Friday night and they had a hike set up for the girls. The ward pitched in and loaned 950 ft of rope to construct the "Iron Rod" It led through a nicely cut trail past the Great and spacious building, then got into some rougher terrain (fallen trees and rocks, sticks etc) The girls were blindfolded through "the mist of darkness" and were being tempted/encouraged by some adult volunteers, to let go of the rod to make the hike easier. I am happy to say all of the girls held tight and made it through to the Tree of Life safely. We had a lot of fun and we are really excited about girl's camp now.
                                     
We didn't go completely without incident though. We found out that Tarzan (or girl's mimicking him) are NOT invincible LOL
