Lucas Camilo

Lucas began the summer with a challenge: to view — up close — 20 different bodies of water. Last Wednesday he hit his goal… just a week before summer ends and the school year begins. The day before that he wrote a blog post about it:

Yesterday I saw three bodies of water.

I have nineteen on my list.

We have to find one more before we can reach our goal.

One took a lot of off-roading to get to. It was really bumpy.

The waterfall we went to was tall and loud.

I like looking for bodies of water because I think it’s beautiful.

Nearly half of the bodies of water we saw on our road trip to Oregon. Here are a few pictures of ones we’ve done in the last month, followed by the full list (as composed by Lucas.)
