4th year of camp, and at least 3rd year of travel drama!
EUG to SFO was massively delayed due to "clouds" at SFO. Essentially missed my flight, but was miraculously redirected to Roanoke via a Delta flight! Whew.
Got to Roanoake a bit late, like 830, but still got a ride from a new guy, who picked up me, Monica Morant, and Rachel Ballard.
Only took a 30min drive to get to camp: Improvement #1!
Then...the camp, at the foothills of the AT...was AMAZING! Big, warm, "great room" - cafeteria area, with big windows overlooking a pond! Super-awesome. Met up with Ricky Haro and Jason Bryant. Most everyone else was asleep. Cracked a beer and hung out.
Then...the ROOMS! Oh, joy! Our OWN rooms with REAL mattresses and bedding! Amazing!!! So huge, compared to the crappy bunks, plastic mattresses, and snoring neighbors!
Found a cool book on Shackelton's Antartica expedition ("Endurance") and started reading that...
