July 26: First Official Day

July 26


We finish helping with the setup, ie distributing folders, raking paths, and wandering about the camp.  After taking a wonderful shower with the wood stoked heater, we change from staff to guests.  Around 3 pm, another 25 hostelers arrive from their four mile hike in. Lemonade and ice tea are available along with grapes and the Japanese hot mix. Everyone finds their tents, collects their luggage and some take showers in time to attend happy hour at 5:15pm with wine:  merlot, white zinfandel or chardonnay.  Dinner is at 6:15 pm with ham, spinach salad, beans and tomatoes (with or without bacon) and garlic roasted potatoes.  Dessert is a peach square with whipped cream.  Coffee or tea is also available.

We go over the schedule for the next day before Richard Ross gives us the history of the Lost Valley Campsite which is currently owned by Richard and his sister Penny.  Besides the two weeks dedicated to Road Scholar, family and friends use the facility from about mid June to mid September.
