This was the rain-date for closing Pinewoods Camp, which actually meant there was less work to do, since Judy and her young crew had done so much work during the week. Still, we were busy enough :-)

I didn't see this sign the first time I drove to camp. This was shot through my windsheild... |
... right before I was surprised by a bunch (flock?) of turkeys flying by! |
I got there hours ahead of everyone else (except for crew people who'd been there all week) so I headed for my favorite spot: Long Pond. The canoes had been beached... |
... and the docks were out of the water, lined up on the beach, waiting for the weekend workers to deal with them. |
I laid down on the raft and pretended to be floating... |
... and took a nap. |
A second artsy shot of the docks, taken from the deck of the Camp House. |
Someone had already replaced some bad boards on the deck, making for some interesting contrast. |
This building will be torn down and replaced, so I took some shots. |
See the space around the chimney? And pretty wood. |
But kinda gloomy - too dark. The new building will be more open on the far end. This side overlooks the lake... |
... and this is up the hill... |
... with the Camp Hosue dead ahead. |
Saturday morning's first task was to stack up the docks. Notice the fishermen on the far right, who seemed to enjoy the show. |
It took about a dozen people stationed all around each dock to lift and move. Kinda fun, actually. |
My next assignment was to help paint two upstairs rooms in Hudston (?) House. Here's a "before" shot... |
... and the "after". Good work, eh? |
Linda was in charge, and did a great job. |
This is the marble chase in the Hudston shower house. Along the right side is a "slide" (the handle is out of the picture, at the bottom) that lifts the marbles to the top. |
Note the randomizer at the first stage. |
|
My last big task was to build Tick Bombs: PVC tubing stuffed with cotton ticking... |
... then sprayed with this stuff. The tubes were dispersed around the camp (which explains the ribbons, for retrieval in the spring) so that mice would grab the stuffing for their nests, and reduce the tick population. |
