fall Massac oct 15-17 2011

this year Massac I camped away from my family and with the natives. it was a lot of fun and I became closer friends with some of them. Cole spent the week before preparing a way to make us a shelter. we had planned on having a real nice big warm wigwam but our plans to cut bamboo fell through so we had to come up with something last minute.

Meagan decided about a month or so before the event that she wanted to be the unit drummer. and I must say that with little time for practice she was AMAZING!
