back after more camping

Well, I have returned once again. This was the 3rd camping trip. We got set up in a wind tunnel basically, and after 2 nights our big cooking tent was completely destroyed by the wind. It was an amazing sight to see it billowing in the wind, poles snapping, the tarp ripping.....

We ended up moving camp after that to a better spot. Too bad I was woken up this morning to Griffen banging on a pot running around camp yelling `WE NEED HELP!!!!´ The best part was that no one moved. I thought they had made breakfast for us, to get us out of bed. No, Anya, Jessamyne, and Griffen were holding onto the parachute of a tent, keeping it from blowing off the mountain with all of our food.

We also removed a ton of fencing out camping.

We´re watching a movie called 180 South tonight, so I have to go. We´re at the administracion for 3 days. Griffen has 2 fly fishing poles. We might go out to a river and learn how to fish, or climb a mountain or something.

  1. Too bad you don't have a kite! How did you manage to keep your tent from blowing away? Is the movie required viewing? Is it a documentary? Subtitles?
    Hope you're warm and the sun is shining. I sat next to Marcy Perry at the Avenue today and she asked all about you. So I gave her the scoop.
    Love,
    Mom
