It's a scene on the grassy hill where Outpost cabins used to be - below Quirk and Hyde & Watson Lodges now. Okay, but what's that blurry aerial streak in the upper right of the shot? Oh, that's just an Outpost boy a half-second after he and his mountain-board flew off the ramp. Huh? Yes, we've got mountain boarding now, and I have to say--it's about the best new activity there is. I'm old school (duh, you say, no kidding) and so I'm skeptical about new activities, ready to pounce on them as unnecessary frills added to an already perfectly wonderful synthesis of nature and games. But I'm ready to say that those of us who were campers at FV prior to the introduction of mountain boarding just haven't a clue about what fun can be had. Brian Sense put together a video of Outpost's rather modest leaps off the ramp. You'll enjoy this 3-minute film. Disguise yourself as a 15-year-old and sign up for 2008 camp, and then you can try it yourself. Or...errr...maybe if you contact Brian he'll arrange a special alumni activity on the boards. In fact, I know he will. Just do it.
