 If I were a camper...

To spare Farbs, my wife and son and others that I totrure with the "if we were at camp right now..." I am creating this thread for those (like me) who miss the daily pace of life at Horseshoe.
I will attempt to tell you some of what would be going on if we were standing in the great northwoods on a sunny, 85 degree day, with sand in your shoes, a bandana around your neck, a hat on your head, the sound of the Dart engine reving up in the distance, and the unmistakeable slap of the cabin door as it slams shut.

Week 6, Tuesday:

Last day of paddling on the Canadian for all in Cabin 14 as they make their way to Horseshoe Outpost #4. Tonight will be the last night of the trip (no, you do not have to burn a personal item).

All "Future Fourteeners" are on day 2 of the Chippewa. No doubt that H has packed 16 ounce steaks for everyone to grill for dinner. This is not the time for a sand steak.

Back at camp, most are out on trips like Hayward to Trego or the Three River trip. The remaining campers are busy putting the final touches on this years Cabin 14 prank. This is the last week for most to achieve personal goals like Jr. Bowman, Brown Swimmer, winning the flag one more time so you can have a Coke party or completing that elusive and special Number Ten Tin for cookout tomorrow night.

Every few days, I will try to revive a few cherished camp memory morsels that you may have forgotten like that extra tootsie roll from canteen that you found in your green canvas shoe bag during super inspection. Please feel free to add your thoughts. Enjoy.

(Don't worry, I will seek psychological help. But sick call is not until this evening)

Eph
