Not really looking forward to that. I hate heat and humidity. What is the coolest option to sleep? Air mattress? Cot? Other?

Sneak off late and stay in motel.

Don’t think I haven’t considered that...

Stop considering and do it.

Good idea. Not sure if there is a place to tie one up or not.

Church culture is against this. Which is dumb IMO

Culture only changes when people stop paying attention to it.

Temporary inactivity would be your best bet.

Also a decent option

There are good showers at the campsite...that helps

Showers on Trek? Really?

It’s not trek. It’s youth conference.

For high adventure we biked from nauvoo to winter quarters and camped along the way

CLCougar

Thats a long way. Nauvoo to Omaha? 320 miles according to Google maps. Seems like much longer than untrained youth

Hank Rearden

To qualify going we had to do multiple bikerides, up to 50 miles a day and camp overnight

CLCougar

Forgot to mention, we followed the Mormon Pioneer trail as much as possible. Was fun to see

CLCougar

7/7/19 7:54pm

That’s good. Any trees for a hammock?

bag

7/7/19 7:08pm

If at nauvoo campground, yes

CLCougar

7/7/19 7:21pm

Looks like it’s at Camp Eastman south of Nauvoo.

bag

No, it was actually the Nauvoo State Park...links below

CLCougar

I meant we are staying at Camp Eastman

Terrible heat AND humidity. Oh, and don't forget bugs from the Mississippi! Yea!

As an adult you don't have to do anything. Saying no is hard at first but

All the hammock recommendations are dumb. You'll just sweat all night regardless

WDaddy

Better make it a 220 or 221...whatever it takes.

You HAVE to? Just say no.
