First let me start by saying Happy Fathers Day to those, who are. Theres lots of good dad's out there who deserve recognition!
Just like Jon said and everyone who writes after me; the entire camp was full of truly exceptional people. There were smiles all around. Everyone was helpful,fienedly and courteous. Leaving camp and this group was a hard one.
A SPECIAL MASSIVE HATS OFF TO TOM PHILLIPS! Serioiusly the guy worked NON STOP to make sure everyone was comfortable, accounted for and well fed. The planning that goes into this must be rediculous. The man has his act together and really put together a hunt that turned out to be one of the greatest times of my life.
Mr.Bowdoc Don Ward, what can be said about this man? I'll say it like this, when I first me him I was thinking "oh $#!+ what did I get myself into?" and when I left camp. I was wishing the guy was my adoptive father. The laughs and the love that this guy has goes above and beyond. Puting everyone well before himself finding satisfaction and happiness in your comfort level and excitement.
And simply to everyone else who helped put this together before I even got there, thanks again for making this such a special trip for me. I truly am thankful.
The next 357 days are going to be long and slow. I cant wait till next year to do this all over again.
