By nightfall I ended up having to go to the bathroom every half hour or so, thinking I was going to throw up. Finally, all of the cabin’s lights turned off and Mr. Collins got done telling his annual scary story. I fell asleep on the top bunk of a bed until I was awoken by my stomach growling. I immediately got up and ran outside into the bathroom. Luckily, the bathroom was right outside our cabin so I was able to make it. I was up the rest of the night puking. To anyone that hasn’t been to Clear Lake, do not eat too much of their
