Ben and I just got home today from a Scout summer camp, basically 4 days in a forest with a bunch of kids.

Initially it was a bit grueling, it was some ungodly temperature and the sweating began. I'm talking buckets of sweat were rolling and nothing was air conditioned at camp...it was old school. The schedule was brutal, back to back activities with no breaks..we were used to it by Day 2. The camp theme was pirates so there were skits and the entire staff were acting the parts at all times. Our camp happened to be farthest from the mess hall so after walking in 90+ temps a few times we made sure we had everything we needed when leaving camp. We did all of the standard activities like archery, bb guns, arts&crafts, nature walks, swimming in the lake, canoing, and the list goes on. The comic relief was non stop and we ended the last day with a polar swim @6am and made wooden pirate swords. Good times and luckily nobody else was home...we kinda smelled after 4 days of camp.

P.S. I met with a melanoma expert at SCCA, since I'm NEDS (No Evidence Of Disease) there's no trial or anything to do. So we wait fo rthe next fire and then I go back to her and see what she can do. Nothing new but we may start going through her as our primary because she focuses on melanoma.
