Spent two nights at nauvoo campground. It's been few years, but showers were great and made heat and humidity bearable. This was during late July. Totally worth it

Looks like I have to sleep in a tent in Nauvoo for youth conference. In August.

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.

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

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

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

CLCougar

That’s good. Any trees for a hammock?

bag

7/7/19 7:08pm

If at nauvoo campground, yes

CLCougar

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

bag

7/7/19 7:33pm

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

I meant we are staying at Camp Eastman

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.
