Just a quick note during Olympics here at camp. Im on England, fighting the evil forces of Spain in an eternal struggle for victory. Last night was opening ceremonies and the rope burn which I participated in. Thus, my day yestarday consisted of trecking through the woods surrounding camp and collecting large branches and kindling and stripping birch bark. Then we spent the afternoon building our base for the fire which consisted of a furnace type structure. We also prepared our 2 larger teepees to go up once the competition began. I was on the fourth shift for the competition (each shift is 5 minutes long) and by that point our fire was starting to burn nicely and with our shift the rope caught on fire and started to go. One minute after our shift ended our rope snapped and fell, giving England the first 10 gold medals of the Olympics. Now its 3 more days of fun competition and Danny leaving tomorrow and camp ending soon thereafter. Updates will be more frequent once Im home and full life plans to be discussed here shortly.
