Not only has there been a HUGE, mysterious thing hunt going on upstairs, there was a mysterious, levitating balloon spotted at Base Camp yesterday. Could these two be related? Probably.

A group of miners and cowboys

Hey ya’ll! Travel back in time this year at Base Camp to an old mining town, and experience the Old West through exciting video and drama. Travel even further back in time to re-visit King David, as God used him to accomplish great things for Israel.

The music and games will be a hoot, too!

Side note: Has anyone seen any gilvopper? Check down by the ol’ creek bed, wouldya?
