I was on thee FABULOUS Camp Logistics Crew Team! What a great team! Everyone was happy to help each other out even with our YUCKY job of garbage collecting. And let me tell you, 3200 people make an awful lot of garbage!! Especially at meal times: a lot of garbage very quickly!
I posted a slide show of all the pictures I took on the right ----->

Be sure to copy and paste so that you get that sneaky little # in there. I am pretty sure that you do need it. I am not really sure if it will work right if you just click on. Let me know.
Our Adventure began on Thursday October 2, 2008. This was Crew Day. Everyone on the Crew needs to get there a day early so that they can meet their team, learn what their duties are for/on their team; either as a team and/or an individual. The key phrase everyone on any team hears (ALL WEEKEND) is, say it with me now.....BE FLEXIBLE, and of course HAVE FUN. I know that my team had a TON of fun. We were all laughing and joking all weekend long, somehow I didn't think that hauling trash, setting up & taking down tables could be that much fun - but with my team, everything was a laugh riot! What a wonderful and caring group of people. OK....sorry about that...a bit of a tangent, I digress. Thursday.....
Once we found all of our Chemo Warriors (Team name), introduced ourselves, parked our cars in long term parking at Patomic Mills Mall, found the vehicles we were assigned from the 3-Day (a box truck, a passenger van, and a (GRRRRrrrrr) Ford F150 Pick-Up Truck [with breaks that didn't work because the key was not far enough into the ignition....huh? read that one again didn't 'ya? yeah, that is actually what the guy from the 3-Day said after he took the truck out and probably didn't get the same problem. We got a good laugh from that one!]), we headed right out to Camp. And let me tell you, what a great site this was for the 3-Day! Close to a highway and train, yes, but absolutley gorgeous! If you didn't hear all that highway and train noise you would never even know they were there! I have trouble remembering how to pronounce the Name of where we were, so I probably cannot spell it worth a damn either! I will give a shot and try to correct it later! Occoquan (?) Regional Park. If you get the chance you should check it out. Little rolling hills. Very Cute. Anyway....We are an advance team so we needed to get there ASAP because we needed to get the grid for the tents set up and done before the sun robbed us of our light, and can I say HEAT!! OMG!! It was so cold that night, a lot of it was because it was so darn windy! (I have a feeling this is going to be the coldest winter of my life. Ugh! & I thought last winter was bad!)
Ok....obviously A) I am long winded, big surprise, I know. B) it takes me forever to tell a story. C) I am a bit of a scatterbrain....jumping from one topic to another, and D) I will have too add to this later - my lunch break is over and want to post the photos. Let's see if I can manage that.
