Away Up North!!

Hiawatha Youth Camp will be our RVICS home for the next month. We haven't learned much of the history of the camp yet but we do know the location (I think). It is 50 miles from anything! Actually, we might not know where it is located because a local person in a car drove up to our window on a dirt road and asked if we knew where to go. "No" was the answer. He kindly drove in front of us to the campground! Lake Superior is just north of us and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, is to the northeast.

It is a very nice camp located on Piatt Lake. Because of its location, the camp is only open 2-3 months in the summer. I believe that the ladies will be "closing" the buildings down for winter by storing supplies and cleaning. For one of the men's projects, they will be renovating the laundry building.

Our RVICS group for the month is made of 5 couples from Virginia to California. One couple is very near their home in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. This is the first time that we have worked with any of them. We have one of the men in the group to thank for our internet connection. I don't understand it but he took one of the couple's internet service and made it so we those with wifi can connect to it. We are thankful for that!!

Our RVs'are in the woods. We look out the windows and see nothing but trees. We are wondering how many animals we might spot. We have been told a bear occasionally shows up.

We are excited to be here and to begin work next week. One the drive up, we stopped at a McDonald's for lunch and ran into another RVICS couple that we have never worked with that were heading for a project at Miracle Camp. It is a small world.

Thanks for remembering us as we work. We will give updates whenever we can.
