| In the wee hours of the morning somewhere (prolly) in Indiana |
 |
| Oh why am I taking a picture of a corn field. Prolly a good example of GMO product. |
 |
| Made it safely to camp city Monday midday |
 |
| The Hope channel broadcast the main meetings live. |
 |
| 10 girls crammed into a double cab (don't worry, we weren't on the main roads). All vehicles except golf carts were banned from the internal roads after 7pm on Tuesday. |
 |
| Squished |
 |
| Traffic jam on Tuesday morning |
 |
| Every Union decorated their entrance. I thought this one was really creative |
 |
| Here's another one. Clubs and conferences also had unique decorations. |
 |
| Oshkosh is known for the Air Museum. We had free access to that and some of the girls turned astronaut! |
 |
| Four hangars plus many exhibition tents and structures served to provide a myriad of activities for the 47 000+ participants. |
 |
| Some of my girls on "green T-shirt day" |
 |
| Is this Ranger Rick from the Guide magazine? |
 |
| Every day there were parades and of course the march and drill competition. |
 |
| YT and Brenda Walsh from 3ABN. She snagged me into a live television interview - petrifying - but it went OK, thanks to the Lord. |
 |
| We gathered every evening for a meeting |
 |
| About 5 jumbo-trons helped everyone to see well. |
 |
| School buses shuttled us back and forth (but we still had miles to walk just to get TO the buses LOL) |
 |
| One of the activities was ice-skating at the YMCA. They could ice-skate twice a day for 1.5 hours each time if they desired. |
 |
| C and M strike a pose |
 |
| Acting like pros |
 |
| Yippee! |
 |
| Crowds got bigger as the time went on |
 |
| Skating along like... |
 |
| Wow, we're celebraties |
 |
| Volleyball |
 |
| Can you believe this? An indoor waterpark inside the Y! |
 |
| C and E enjoying the moment |
 |
| Indoor soccer. I think they had tournaments going on the whole time. |
 |
| Evening light |
 |
| 360'. People still coming in |
 |
| We had a different color shirt for each day. I can see why! |
 |
| Part of a pathfinder history display |
 |
| Motorbike demonstration |
 |
| Part of a parade |
 |
| The theme was Daniel and his 3 friends - "Forever Faithful" |
 |
| They spared no details in making the story come to life. Amazing stuff! |
 |
| Even sailing was on the list of activities |
 |
| Our skipper was a girl currently studying in TN |
 |
| Back safe and sound (after getting stuck in the doldrums for a while) |
 |
| More bus riding |
 |
| The weather was perfect - except for the grand finale on Sat. night! |
 |
| Some close-up of the stage |
 |
| Dishwashing duty back at camp |
 |
| The view from our (my and another staff counsellor) tent |
 |
| Sargeant Moody directs the parade traffic (only kidding). It was a stifling hot day but he looks as cool as a cucumber. |
 |
| After the parade, we collapse on the grass |
