Happy St Patricks Day... a day late is better than never I guess. We're Scottish, so does that mean we should boycott the holiday? :)
So I just had a very nice dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage... minus the cabbage of course! Very good. Don't think I've ever had it before... maybe, but I don't remember it.
We've been spending the last few weeks preping the camp for the start of the spring season. We've painted the inside of 4 cabins and now the two large bathrooms in another building. Looks pretty good so far... spent much of today cleaning up downed tree limbs and stuff... had a nice campfire with toasted marshmellows and hotdogs. A few more projects are in the works and will hopefully get finished up in the next few weeks, since the first of the groups comes in the 3rd (the staff show up next weekend).
Place is definately looking better though.
If anyone wants to put in a few hours of physical labor, we'd be happy to feed you... and not just marshmellos and hotdogs, though those are available upon request. :)

Tools anyone?
Haven't written anything in a while...sorry.
Not much going on here... just painting away, getting ready for Nature's Classroom to come in at the end of the month. The warm weather is making working on the grounds a bit more bearable. Lots of downed tree limbs and branches to get up, but with a number of work groups coming in before the start of the summer we should be in pretty good shape.
We do need to work on what tools and supplies we have on camp... the "gentleman" who was fired in October walked away with many things that were not his. That's what happens when the board expects civilized behavior from an "adult". And not giving those of us still here any athority to call the police - just making lists didn't stop the disappearing of things. So now we are in the process of restocking the maintanence department, and cleaning up the junk yard that was left behind.
If anyone knows of someone upgrading their own equipment, we'll take the older stuff off their hands... we're used to hand-me-downs.
Hope all is well with everyone.
