Castle Fever recap
I started out on Friday afternoon, and arrived on site about 2:30 pm. I asked Brenda where I should set up my mundane tent. She pointed me in the right direction and I drove over to inspect the site choices I had. I picked out this lovely little spot with plenty of shade and close to the potty. Great location for those who may have to make a trip in the middle of the night. My mundane can be set up by myself, but it goes faster, if I have another person helping me out. After staking the tent down, and putting the poles together, I walked over to troll. Ivar was sitting there chit chatting with Brenna. I crooked my little finger, and asked for some assistance. Being a kind gentleman, he helped me put up the poles. Five minutes is all it took to have the tent up. I unloaded my van, and was in garb in about a half hour. I was the first on site to be dressed and ready to play. I walked down to the period encampment, which looked awesome! And spent the rest of my evening down there. Saturday I did a shift at troll, and met some very nice people.
Saturday night, I witnessed my first "Spear the Beer" game, had a glass of Gorilla milk ( which was the equivalent of 16 0z) and kept my eye on some of my friends that had dipped a little to much into the gorilla milk.... I witnessed a jewish wedding ceremony between Domonio, and Froberry..... (giggle) and ate my fill at the feast.
Coffin chicken, (moist, yummy, and period) several other veggie dishes, and delectable deserts. I made a strawberry rhubarb crisp that got eaten up. I didn't even have left overs. yeah! I had great company at the feast. Belle, Ingrim, and Jacob. Later on we had a going away party under the pavilion for Ivar and Lilliana. Bardic circle was under the pavilion as well, since it was raining. I joined in on the songs I knew. Ingus does such a wonderful job in belting out the tunes.
Sunday, I was woken to a drip drip on my forehead... More reason as to why I really need to look into finding a used pavilion for next year's camping season......
The mundane had all the rain it could handle, and was starting to come inside. I knew things would just get worse, so I got myself out of bed at 6:30 am to hurry and pack things. By 7:30 I had the van packed, with the exception of the tent. I knew the plan was to start tear down around noon. It was my hope that I could have my tent dry out a little by that time, before I had to take it down. I was met with some success. But right now, the tent is on the lawn drying out, and I have to waterproof things again.
Camp was cleaned up around 3:00 pm. I had a great time. Survived the rain, and I am looking forward to WW.
