Camping at Brushwood

What a crazy time we had this weekend at Brushwood Folklore Center

Half of these pictures are poorly colored because I had taken my phone out of auto made and put it in florescent light mode and then forgot to switch it back when I was outside.

Went with ten people, including @heidi, @enknot, @KeithT, @holly, @matthew, @terry

Here are some general camp pics

@terry's mom called while he was at camp


@matthew at the junk pile in the woods where he saw an indigo bunting


@matthew and @enknot chillin at camp


The roundhouse where the drumming was done


I am not one for religion and spirituality but I had a blast. They have this labyrinth pattern in a field with some sort of sacred dead tree in the middle. I think it is similar to the idea of a christmas tree which is also a pagan tradition.

In the middle I took some cool pics. It started out with @KeithT and I in the middle. We walked the whole thing carefully despite the fact that it was easy to just walk over with out long legs. We needed something to do at the moment and discovered that we were good at following the path, lol.



I told him to pose creepy, this is what I got.


By the end, everyone caught up to us.


The clouds were pretty in the center





One of the most amazing things was running back to camp at night and seeing @holly's sister had this lantern that you light the inside on fire and it flies up into the sky like hot air balloon. It rivaled the full moon in prettiness. It basically was something very much like this but quite large. Its hard to see because it was far away at the point I could figure out the camera.
