We had a great Jamboree this year, just a lot fewer people than we anticipated.
Ok, here's the camp report at last.
Never did take the tent out there. Everything was saturated from the frequent rain, and the mud was pretty serious in places. Much easier to brave the road and go home for the night.
Here are the photos. I've blocked the faces for privacy and security reasons.
One of the fire pits. Tarp was to cover it while it rained so the charcoal wouldn't be extinguished.
Another campfire, usual location of the largest BS session during the evening... when it wasn't raining, of course.
Two very nice young ladies agreed to let me take their photo in front of the trailer. It is being restored slowly, but we already have a large kitchen and two bathrooms inside, complete with running water and electricity.
Tents were eventually pitched all over the place, but these were some of the early arrivals that got premium spots.
Almost ready for the Saturday night community dinner. Buffalo burgers, brats and roasted corn among many other things.
The big excitement this year was a large lightning strike just 30 yards from the main camp (trailer). It stripped the bark half off a large pine tree and most of us were blinded and deafened for a while by the flash and crack of thunder. Thank goodness everything was so wet there was no fire danger.
Another storm was rolling in around noon Sunday, so most everyone packed and left then. Hard to believe this was all in Wyoming, part of the "Great American Desert!"
