I was there this weekend at a quilting retreat, and was sad to see the Camp Store in its half-demolished state...but being a tru optimist, a took a couple shingles from the roof, complete with their three inch deep moss garden, to bring home to the boys for a terrarium.

Perhaps a typo?<br /><br /> It is interesting thought that a land-based First Nations people (the Cherokee) would have a word for "whale" unless it was introduced in modern times. "Utana atsadi" is the Cherokee word for whale.Glaciergaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682064028714985466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886855369038426806.post-68010219988007313712012-11-09T02:42:24.887-08:002012-11-09T02:42:24.887-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17376905850899712920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886855369038426806.post-12051088897930503452012-11-07T23:44:20.000-08:002012-11-07T23:44:20.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583017738947703614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886855369038426806.post-71154340162389291162012-10-11T13:14:13.808-07:002012-10-11T13:14:13.808-07:00Jerrrmyymiaaa yay!Jerrrmyymiaaa yay!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518455002735330165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886855369038426806.post-43672588037397357902012-10-11T13:13:57.920-07:002012-10-11T13:13:57.920-07:00Jerrrymiaaa YAY!!!Jerrrymiaaa YAY!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518455002735330165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5886855369038426806.post-69886844219316459902012-08-08T17:07:10.243-07:002012-08-08T17:07:10.243-07:00Thank you Camp Orkila Staff for the wonderful vide...Thank you Camp Orkila Staff for the wonderful video and photos.
