We roll on!

The camp computer is up and running, the tapestry is on the loom.

Last weekend was the first of the weary camp travelers, our Homeless and his darling lady were the first of the 'Catters to pass through the sagebrush gates of Camp Runamuck. LOVELY couple of folks. Lots of singing and playing in sunny spots on the floor, hiking and relaxing and general all-purpose kicking back. Granted, Homeless did NOT earn his Camp Runamuck merit badge for paddleboat mastery, but they both left beautiful artworks on the gallery wall, as well as earning their badges for hiking in the desert without complaining. Not only do they do dishes, but they also spoil dogs, and are now lifetime members of the "Friends of Angus Society". Travel safely, my friends, and hurry back.

Today, I got an early phone call from our Amos. He blazed through after leaving Mudlark's welcoming porch and pooches, and drove into Ellensburg in the wee hours (really, it's the only time to see Ellensburg, in the wee). After a pot of tea and some down time, I put his sorry ass to work. He mowed his 40 acres and took the dog on a boat tour of the pond--another FOA member in the making! (Amos also earned his Camp Runamuck merit badge in wildlife management following a particularly strange rodent incident this morning. Sheesh) More music and good company followed, then when the poor sod was good and tuckered out from yardwork he begged the mercy of the camp staff, so as he could go back to his hotel and take a much deserved nap!

They are saying that the weekend is going to be warm (low 90's) so all of you soon-to-be-Runamuckers, remember the sunscreen and lawnchairs. Travel safely, and sing with you soon!

I love to Runamuck
Oh yes I do
I love to Runamuck
How 'bout you-hoo-hoo?
