Anticipation & Fear.
The sign for Big Indian on Route 28 signaled that in less than forty-five minutes my latest summer destiny was ready to begin. And during these minutes, minds race with familiarity trying to connect each waterfall, ditch, mph warning sign with memories from the summers before, until the first glimpse of The Castle (then the Barn) (then the totem pole) (then the Welcome Sign) (then the Admin Office) meant Get Ready; the Ride is Over, and yet it had really just begun. Greeted by strange faces who, in less than three months, would become familiar friends and, perhaps, summer flings never to be forgotten, the drive to summer camp on Frost Valley Road was always filled with anticipation and fear, curiosity and apprehension, joy, relief, and excitement. Enjoy!
