It is good to see Alliance Redwoods still teaching the wonders of the flora and fauna and our Creators gifts to this world. I was there in 73 and 74 with my grammar school class from St. John's Lutheran in Napa, where I was raised, and the memories are so strong, my spouse and I raised our daughter with the same "God Surrounds us all, if you adhere to simply the golden rule, make new converts, and we are assimilated into a unique and undescribable future together". Napa has Enchanted Hills, which I have not seen, but it offers the same environment for those with challenges, which may encounter anyone in our journey in our Creator's Plan. I was diagnosed with the then unlabeled Asperger's Syndrome before I went to your camp, struggling with my studies, because of being misunderstood by my Lutheran teachers, who did not know that I perceived things in a very slow way at that time. After encountering your programs after my diagnosis, which my parents felt would open up my eyes, the world opened up to me, and the shadow of Asperger's turned to a warm glow of our Creator's camp guides and angels you held my hand with. I went on to a perfect grade point average from that point forward, with one or two setbacks, that outdoors Christ study and exercise, in a "John Muir" or "Ansel Adams" way, became part of my life. I opened up to people, out of college I went into customer and hotel guest service roles, turning into a guest service systems instructor which awarded me a path to world travel, a Christian wife and now 22yo daughter. Alliance Redwoods was my focus, like "Palmer Joss" of the movie "Contact", I saw the fruits and friends of the Lord of all Creation, of Heaven and Earth, and the womb he descended from when he arose from the grave, before I even knew what the words "Born Again Christian" meant, knowing our Creators vision is to guide us thru the hills and valleys before we bask again in a womb of eternal heaven. As I learned visiting the land of Julie Andrews, and Christopher Plummer during some of my several visits to Salzburg, God adorns us with Edelweiss and greets us with that manna and breathe of life every morning, and will never leave our side.
