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.
