What a difference a day makes!

What a difference a day makes! I flew out of Charlotte NC yesterday in warm sunny weather. The flight up to International Falls, MN routed me through Atlanta and Minneappolis with no significant issues. That is exactly how I like flying too, with nothing significant to report! The border crossing was about par for the course, i.e. me being questioned in addition to having my vehicle searched. The drive to the camp was uneventful and full of scenery. Across 502 I did see three black bears at different intervals. All were close enough that I could have rolled down the window and slapped them!

There were two work teams here at the camp when I arrived. Apparently both groups come up the same time each year and help with different projects around the camp. Interestingly enough one group is from Mississippi and the other from Minnesota. It can get quite interesting sitting back watching these men from different parts of the country interacting with each other. (I use the term interacting quite loosely!)

While many in the southeast were enjoying hot humid weather, it was in the upper 40's and rainy here all day. Last evening was chilly and tonite is supposed to be even cooler. Here it is 10:30 PM local time and there is still a sliver of sunlight peeking across the woodline on the other side of the lake. What a difference a day makes!

Pray for the two work groups as they head out tommorow morning. Also pray for the annual board of directors meeting that will occur tommorow (Saturday) here at the camp.
