Today I was a floater (NO, not the toilet type). This morning when we finished breakfast we looked outside and saw dark, dark skies. We pulled out the laptops and used the camp’s high speed wireless internet (yeah, definitely enjoying it) and saw that we had a pretty big storm cell heading for us. The cabin group was still able to work on the bathrooms, but the rest of us weren’t able to do our originally planned projects.
So I floated around between several groups. It was great for taking pictures, but not for knowing exactly what I was to do. We did get a crew set up cutting and sanding and drilling all of the wooden name tags that campers use during the summer. We also had Butch (Lea Hendrick’s husband) who did wiring in the intern’s room and a set of youth who went and worked on the kitchenettes in the afternoon.
My big adventure for the day was a car ride during the rain. In order to get the name tag crew going, we had to get a sander from Bert’s (the lady who helps run the camp) garage. We took one of the trucks and picked it up in the middle of the storm. We found a tarp to cover it, but ran into a problem since it was setup on its stand. So, after driving for 20 yards, I realized that I had to stand in the back and hold it down while we drove back to the camp. Bert only drove at 20 MPH, but I still got completely soaked and cold. It was insane. When I got back I changed into dry clothes 30 minutes later. Writing this I still haven’t warmed up since getting back around 10:15. Yikes!
