Epic Journey
I've just arrived tonight in Potosi, MO, to work at a summer camp I've been working at for five (eek) years now. It used to be up in Wisconsin, but the site has been relocated to MO.
At any rate, the trip down was awesome. My friends Greg and Emily, who also work at the camp, and I drove down over three days. We camped in Virginia, drove Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park, stayed the night in Ashville NC (where we listened to an open bluegrass jam at a brewpub), had lunch and listened to music at a bar in Nashville, and then camped and spent the evening in Memphis on Beale St (heard a great band at BB King's club). And, Greg proposed to Emily on the banks of the Mississippi at sunset yesterday evening, which was totally awesome.
It was a great drive; I love getting in the car and just seeing what there is to see. Eastern Tennessee/Western North Carolina is a gorgeous area; I'd love to go back and spend more time.
At any rate, I'm here at camp for the next week, where I'm co-running the high school program for the first time. It should be a great time; the kids all arrive tomorrow; tonight is the calm before the storm. :)
