Do you like mosquitoes and spiders? They’ve been in large supply. The spiders started coming down from the enclosure over our fire pit as we unintentionally started smoking them out of their nests. Some of the boys were a bit panicked at the onslaught. The mosquitoes are just a constant.
Today was another unstructured day as the camp did not technically start until just before dinner. The main highlight for the boys was when the trading post opened. For me, the highlight was a visit by a pair of woodpeckers that were obsessed with our soap dispenser.
The camp is above capacity, so there are a LOT of scouts here. Meals require people to like being close to one another. Still, there were enough burgers (and they were good tasting burgers) for people to have seconds if they wanted.
