wow. One area of focus is eastern Iowa, where I was just telling OA the other day I worked for several summers. Camp L-Kee-Ta. Luckily, they have tabled the decision for now. Very sad

    It's my guess that if these camps are done away with, there goes the last opportunity for anything vaguely resembling survival training for a whole lot of people. Campfire bad. XBOX good.

      I was pretty good at lashing shit together. and building a fire in wet woods. I taught a gazillion little 8 year olds how to swim. and I drove a beat up old truck with a trailer on the back that housed 10 canoes. I drove then to a lake about 20 minutes away and had to back that trailer down the dock. I'm not sure my parents ever knew I did that. Counselors had camp names. Mine was Twitcher because I never could make myself stand still during flag ceremonies. The most dramatic thing that happened at camp was when I was 16 and counselor in training. the night before some mad man had broken out of prison and murdered three girl scouts in a camp. so they decided to have us take turns watching all night long. we had radios, but that was it. the nights were long, and frankly I was scared wittless.
