Day 1: LaGrange, GA
Hello everyone! Bashful's here, but we are definitely not that. Let us introduce ourselves. We are: Betsy Taylor, Denver Lamb, Driggs Mitchell, Cooper Payne, Grace Perry, Mattie Queen, Claire Bankston, Logan Haskins, Taylor Lankford, Meg Larson, Kaela Smith, Ava Pelter, and Noah Powers led by your amazing and not so Bashful of a counselor - Ashley Guffey!!!
We began our day by our big send off at Mallard Creek (bye Mom and Dad!). Some of us loaded onto the vans - good ole MISS AMERICA and CAROLINA GIRL, and the others onto our bus. We played many games together like Uno and Go Fish while also having a few music jam sessions. For lunch we had turkey sandwhiches. It was our very first traveling meal and some people had some "cheese surprises" when they found the plastic still there... yikes!
Fueling up! Site Managers hard at work.
We made it to our first state - South Cackalacky!
After our orientation to all things TWB, we quickly started speed dating (ooooooh yessssss) and afterwards were able to play many different card games, listen to music, and some even took a nap. We stopped at our first Flying J and the South Carolina State rest stop.
Fueling up! Site Managers hard at work.

Time for our first sing-a-long! Everyone was sounding AMAZING.
When we got to the campsite we prepped and started cooking. Many people played Spike Ball. The Happy group prepared hamburgers and it was delicious. We also had our very first SING-A-LONG! We sang Wagon Wheel, Party in the USA and This Land is Our Land (to name a few) and it sounded GLORIOUS. After our sing-a-long we started to bunk down. Some of us slept in cabins and others slept under the stars on the grass.
Bashful's OUT! See you tomorrow in New Orleans!
