July 12, 2007: I Thought There Was a Camper's Etiquette

Thursday, July 12, 2007

Yesterday I was so tired I went to bed at 7:30. I’m not tired tonight and we have an extra hour tomorrow morning. 

Today, we built rock dams and a retaining wall. The men moved small boulders for the wall.

There is a robin’s nest with three babies in it near my tent. I was looking for a marshmallow-roasting stick and heard “cheep, cheep.” Then a robin flew out and puffed herself up. I looked, saw a nest, and walked away.

A group of boys, Boy Scouts or some such, arrived today. They have been walking through our camp even though we are sitting right in front of them.
