I must tell you about my plane trip. Actually I’m not sure how I got here. I packed my bags and left at 5 am to be taken to the airport after a good 4.5 hours of sleep. I only function on 8 hours. I got in my seat at the airplane and put my head back. I woke up and couldn’t figure out where I was or how I got there, then conked back out. I woke up when they said “Welcome to Detroit” and went to text my mom and saw 3 iPhones instead of my one and stumbled off the plane. Great moment.
When I got to the camp, they said “Hi. Welcome. Have you sprayed for bugspray?” Oh golly. I looked down on my arm and it was being feasted upon by 2 hungry lunchers. I got settled, figured out my bearings, and got a very brief tour of the campsite. It’s about 250ish acres give or take 20 and is super pretty. We even have a lake! But it was lake growth, which is so scary that it deserves its own blog entry.
The first few stragglers of camp counselors were late stayer-uppers and I just couldn’t converse anymore and was knocked out at about 12. At 2:30, I noticed that it was really loud and really smoky! FIRE!! Apparently, the fire place wasn’t ventilated well and the whole ½ of our lodge was filled with thick white smoke and nobody could figure out the fire alarm to turn it off for about 30 minutes. As soon I as realized that I was not in danger of death, I laid back down and came up with different and unique rhythmic patterns to the blaring and very effective fire alarm that is less than 5 square tiles away from my pillow. Welcome to camp.
I’m super excited about this place. I think that it will recompense my horrific childhood experience in the woods. I actually do like nature, but I normally only like it from the inside of a building…or car…ooorrrr…train. We’ll see how this place will transform me and I am welcoming you to my journey in Holly, Michigan.
Peace out <3
