Hello everyone and welcome to August Session of 2008.
It’s hard to believe, but this means for twenty-three of our brothers, the summer at Flying Cloud is over. For fourteen lucky fellows it means we’re only half way through, and for fourteen new guys it means we’re just getting started! I’m happy to say that despite all the rain on arrival day our second half campers are in good spirits and ready to go! We spent yesterday helping get everyone settled into their lodges, and then today we’ve been going over some of the basic elements of being a Flying Clouder: doing chores, building fires, using knives and other tools and of course, playing games! This afternoon everyone is out wandering around the local landscape, keeping their eyes open for interesting natural mysteries and getting to know Flying Cloud.
Now I’ve got to head back up there through the rain in time to get back for dinner. After yesterday’s oven-fresh sourdough and pasta with red or alfredo sauce, I don’t wan to miss it! Just thinking about it has my mouth watering….
Until next time, don’t hesitate to write, and of course feel free to pass the link to the blog on to your friends and family. If you can make it I’d also love to see you at Fair! Remember it’s Saturday afternoon, August ninth. Just a few weeks to go!
