Subject: RE: FSGW Getaway 2006- Photos of Camp
Thanks for the photos, Bill. Looks like a nice place in terms of facilities. I hope management can stand the extremely varied likes of us. I think the fact that it is a Methodist church camp, combined with my upbringing, has me feeling a little paranoid--like we can't relax and just be ourselves, unless our selves are 'born again' Christians. And you know I'm not a drinker--it's not that. And I'm clear it is my hardshell Baptist ancestry that is kickin'
in here. I am sure all will be wonderfully well and amazingly restorative, as have all my Getaway experiences been.

I am apparently the only person around who is going to miss Camp Ramblewood. This ol' hillbilly woman wasn't much bothered by the cold or the climbs, and I liked the tolerant nature of the management. (and I ain't talkin' about open alcohol.)   I understand the need to move to a place where those with mobility issues can get around better--but I'm still gonna miss Ramblewood. It was a beautiful setting, the dorm style cabins promoted getting acquainted quickly with people, as did the relatively easy-to-bear hardship of the the cold.

Wow. In a week we will be there!
