starry night over Big Tree

Surely this is the most beautiful photograph I've seen of Big Tree. It was taken last spring on an especially starry night.

alumni benches, lifer bricks

At various spots around camp now there are alumni benches, built on the "lifer bricks" many of us received through several projects. Some of us got them at the 2006 reunion. In an earlier period lifer bricks were given to campers as they "graduated" from their final summer as camper, just before the CIT summer. For a few years these were stacked somewhere while we figured out the best way to display them. These benches have gotten very positive reviews so far.

You can get your own lifer brick. Go here, click on the link to the form, make a gift to Frost Valley (send a kid to camp!) and the brick will be imprinted with your name and built into one of the new benches.

grim November

Both these photos were taken yesterday. Temps in the 40s and 30s. A few flurries in the morning. Dim all around.
