Gee, Andy, YMCA Camp Manitou is still going strong. I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, and worked at a camp in the Kettle Moraine outside Milwaukee, but I never, ever even dreamed of going as far as New Auburn. Heck, I never even heard of it, although I did hear about nearby Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls - it seemed like they were suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul. I've lived in California since 1970 and distances now mean little to me - but when I was growing up, it was just too much to go all the way across Wisconsin to the Eau Claire area. I went to Eau Claire once, and that was enough. I've seen much more of Wisconsin since I moved away from it. -Joe-
