Day 10 Driving home!

We made an extra 2 seats in a 50 passenger buss, by taking out the galley in the back, thus making the largest Caravan to date. A CD of over 800 digital photos was available. A book for each Caravaner was produced with general instructions, daily devotions and schedules. The "Sponsors Challenge" became a bus activity.  The bus driver again was Jerry Elwood.
