No more hiking up high ridges or trying to catch fleeting lizards dashing under the nearest rock. The next morning would usher in a long bus ride for most campers. Counselor Bob was one of our staff favorites. He just had a way of relating to campers. Perhaps he was vulnerable enough to allow himself to be a big kid for the rest of the campers.
Kids enjoy being around people like that.
He teased the campers and they teased him back. I was sorry that I wasn't in his unit. That bunch was always doing fun things. Hiking to the best places, swimming at the right bend in the creek, playing volleyball to the extreme. It's now late Friday afternoon.
