ATL’s Phelps Bristol & Mike Benfield preparing dinner while an unidentified camper looks on. Note the birch log “fire irons”…this was before the camp started using the real fire irons. Wherever they were, it must have been windy!

Rest Day pancakes!

Unidentified camper with a couple of nice sized fish.
