We learned that Kate and Bart reside in Staten Island, and we hope they return, We had a wonderful time with this group.
Kate & Bart had a wonderful day basking in the sun and taking in the firework show.

Bart show 101 activities to do with a snake.  Think maybe to much wilderness for this group or maybe to many spirits from the celebration.
Time to head back down the mountain following what we thought we the nights activities.  Bart however, continued seeking out new activites.  The snake along the trail was one of the groups favorites.

"We finally found it!!! Camping is what we were looking for all this time.

A place where all you hear is a bird singing above your head and nothing else.  If you listen really closely you may even hear the wind playing with the leaves.  There is no one around you; you're all alone; it's just you and nature and from time to time Popcorn.

You guys are the best, absolutely the best hosts ever.  Guys you are the best and most of all you have a large heart and a lot of love and kindness.  We felt it and just know there isn't a lot of people like you guys.  We felt so welcome, like we new you for years.

Keep us the great job and be sure to see us back with whole bunch of people.  Again thank you very much you made our time here special.

PS:  Ask about hunting for a rabbit."
