Hello Gal Pals!
I'm writing this with a swollen nose, black eye and a stoved up thumb! "Did you fall?' everyone asks. If only that were true...I wouldn't have to tell you about one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done! Yes, I know I don't have to tell you, but the Gal is real y'all! In this case...maybe a little too real.
Can't believe I did that!
Bull in a China Shop I am!
So, I was leaving a meeting at a facility where the whole front section has glass doors, walls, and windows. In a hurry as usual, I left the meeting about five minutes early; headed to the left parking lot. Walking in that direction, I was going through what I thoughtit was a side door. It was a nice day and several of the doors were open. Unfortunately, I didn't use one of those. No, instead, I walked full force into a glass wall! Thought I might possibly have a concussion, but so far, so good, I think. Still can't believe I did that, but the moral of this story is: Slow down, pay attention (sometimes things are not as they appear) ... AND always be able to laugh at yourself...even if it hurts...really bad!
Detective Adventure
Now on to a fun adventure! I found myself on another Girl Camper escapade a while back, this time in Mohican State Park, Loudonville, OH, where we Girl Campers became super sleuths led by a retired forensics officer! After learning how to dust and lift fingerprints, collect blood samples, and other detective skills, we put 'em to work as we investigated a mock crime scene. Super cool!
We worked in teams to investigate the crime scene
Waterfront Campsite
My campsite was right along the river, which was awesome, but it had rained a lot the night before and it was running full force. More rain was predicted, so I kept a close eye on it. PLEASE be alert to flash flooding when camping along low-lying rivers, creeks, and streams! The weather can change so quickly, so always be on guard.

Surviving Shawshank!
Staying in the theme of crime, we watched the classic 1994 movie 'Shawshank Redemption' outside at the campground.
