(My Trail marker for the turn off back into camp)
I hiked out the camper trail out past the boat dock and onto the road to the cell phone curve. It took about an hour and a half to hike about a 2 and a half 3 mile hike. I talked on the phone from around 3 until 6:30. I got to talk to my Mom, Dad, Grandma and Chance, I missed talking to all of them so much! I can not believe I have been in the mountains straight for over a month with out really talking to anyone!
The Road signs leading to Loon Lake
Around 6:30 I decided to hike back to the boat docks to go for a swim, I wanted to jump off the boat dock, but people were fishing on it, so I just went for a swim instead. Around 7:40 I decided to hike the 2 and a half miles back to camp since it was getting late and the sun was starting to set.
On the hike back to camp I met Previous Chef Steven and his wife Debbie, it was funny running into them, because I met them as they were hiking into DCC and I was hiking out, but we didn't know who each other were the first time we saw each other. Steven was the Cook for Deer Crossing 3 years ago, and he was the chef's blog I read before deciding to take the job at Deer Crossing.
When I got back to camp it was around 8:45pm and it was a funny, but strange arrival, I first went to my tent to put on warmer clothes then headed up to the lodge, to walk into the 4 or so staff that were on and the LITs and GITs getting ready to send out a search party for me. Which was strange to me because I don't know what made them think I would be back for dinner especially since I didn't know what time dinner would be on an off session day. It was very strange since I only told Jenny the other cook I would be back some time that night, but for some reason they worried I had gotten lost since it was the first time I had hiked the going out of camp trail and the sun was starting to go down. But everything was good once I was there, just thank goodness they hadn't actually gone out looking for me!
On Saturday nights in between sessions we get to watch a movie at night, tonight we watched Grown Ups, it was a very funny movie, I would watch it again. I love movie night, it makes me feel like I am back home. There is nothing better then a Saturday 12 to 12 day off in between sessions getting to relax, swim, talk on the phone and watch a movie all while still in the wilderness!
