Tell about going to summer camp.

The only summer camps that I went to were because of Scouting. They were all up in the granddaddy lakes area of the Uintah National Forest. I loved the five or six times I went into the Granddaddies as they were know and the different lakes that we camped at each time. We stayed at Palisade he most but also camped at Governor and Betsy lakes. I was always afraid of getting lost so I stuck to the trails unless with the leaders who knew the back country trails. Fishing was fun but I wasn’t good at it so it slowly lost its appeal and gave way to making rafts to cross the lakes and hikes into the closets meadows where we could watch the big fish in the stream and still not catch them.

I did go on one other summer camp just before my senior year. It was a summer biology camp with the class and of course Marie was one of the class members that made it worth being on for those couple of days. We saw the first and only flying squirrel that I have ever seen in the wild and had a great time. It was up in the Yellowstone drainage near Moon Lake.

Other than that it was just the weekend camps with the scouts and I always enjoyed them as well.
