And it Wained… (3x)

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Boy it’s wet.
It’s so wet, that it’s early afternoon here at camp, and I have nothing to do. We got all the inside stuff done, and all that’s left to do is… out there. We didn’t quit raking until hypothermia became a real possibility. I think we just want to be done with leaves, so [...]
