Day 4: Keepin' it coming

A group effort by Nick S., Sid, Adam and Allie.

"Today we camped at a “haunted” island. Nick Suiter had boiling water and sausage dropped on his foot, Allie had a gash down her leg and had to get 29 stitches and a tetanus shot, two other girls cut themselves shaving (we got showers! Yayyy!), and Nick R. cut his heel. Maybe the island WAS haunted!

There was also a ginormous storm, during which we were evacuated from the tents. Ian didn’t because he slept through it and the crew trying to wake him up. We were very descriptively informed of how we would die if our tent was struck by lightening (Ed. Note: by the time we evacuated, the storm had almost passed, so Ian was safe. Also, there was no risk of lightening striking the tents, the concern was rather that one of the trees surrounding us would be struck and fall on us. Although that’s not to say I didn’t describe it to give campers the heebie-jeebies anyway.)

Twice today we went swimming. Everyone except Nick S. took a shower, because his foot was burned so badly."

- Nick S., Sid, Adam and Allie all miss their families.
