Rapelling

9-2-08

So I told you about how Gaylin Jenks and Brian Billings invested in climbing equipment.

But, you may ask, how does that relate to one of their Scouts?

Well, yesterday I headed over to the Jenks to see what was up and hang out a little. Some of their relatives were there. And they were just talking, eating some food and having fun. In the course of conversation White Rock came up. White Rock is a big White Rock on the side of the mountain that’s really fun to go to.

Well, when you talk about White Rock it always ends up that you plan on going there. So I said, “Ok let’s go. Right now.” One of the girl relatives there said, “I don’t really want to go.” But Gaylin persuaded her to go by saying that they might go rappelling.

From there Gaylin ended up calling Brian and then they decided to go down to “Ninth Street,” which essentially is a bunch of big rocks on the mountain at the top of Ninth Street in Ogden.

So we got all packed up in the Big Blue Van and started off.

When we finally got there, first it took forever for everyone to get up there, then even longer to get it set up, then people started going down. And then the very worst (but best) part came. My Turn.

Now I’m going to be mean/smart and make this five hundred word essay into two different essays, so read the other one to hear the rest.
