Camp Glen Gray, 4/14-16/2006

Ruth and her two daughters were the first to arrive on Friday at Camp Glen Gray, and they set up their tent before the rain started. When I arrived with TS and Dolgio it was already raining, and we decided to spend Friday night inside Cabin Gray.

The cabin was functional. A pile of wood was stacked up near the entrance, and I started a fire in the wood stove. The common area contained a sofa, chairs, two small tables, a refrigerator and a television that we did not use. I set up the Campers’ Group propane stove outside in the rain; we cooked dinner on it, in the wood stove, and in a small toaster oven.

Denise arrived later that night, and Ken and Don joined us the next morning.

Saturday was a much nicer day, and we hiked along the white trail that led from our cabin to the yellow trail, eventually making a big loop. Don came after we started our hike, and he set up a campfire and his tent. When Ken and I returned from the hike, we set up our tents, but Denise, TS and Dolgio stayed in the cabin.

On Saturday night, we took a night hike around the lake without flashlights.

Dolgio and TS rose early on Sunday to take a long hike on the Old Guard Trail. The rest of us took it easy and cleaned up the cabin. When the cabin was in good shape, Ken and I walked on the camp roads to the red dot trail until we came to an overlook.

We all left by mid-afternoon.
