we cannot bring with us is wood from outside the camp. The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive species that kills certain trees and you might unknowingly bring one in with you on your piece of firewood. We can use any dead wood lying around for our campfires, or we can buy it from the store. We plan on bringing a cook stove with us, so we can heat up water and canned goods. Breakfast might be instant oatmeal with a banana and tea or coffee. Lunch could be a peanut butter and honey sandwich with…

Ghost Hunters The classic ghost story is shared around a campfire with frightened children, stuffing s’mores in their mouths, or on a candlelight tour around an old city (usually for a fee). When we tell ghost stories, we enter deep time, a thing so infinitely interconnected and complex that it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction and past from present. Ghost stories emerge out of ignorance, revolve around dramatic irony and distortion, and of course, linger somewhere in the haze…

Houseboats are fun, memorable and affordable places to stay in Amsterdam. If you're used to sleeping on boats, then you know how relaxing the soft rocking of a docked boat can be --if not, you're sure to be pleasantly surprised.

Marie Anne's Houseboat Marie Anne's is around 10 minutes away from the Central Station and the rest of the city, but the short walk, or even…

My ‘Near Miss’ During the 8th grade school year I went on a hunting trip in Colorado. I went with my dad and a bunch of his friends from around the area and some were even from Utah. I got to miss out of 8 days of school for it, and it was my first time ever going out west. I was super excited to go on the trip and could not wait for the day we started our 24 hour drive to western Colorado. It was a long but we finally got there. I met all my dad’s friends from Utah and saw all their horses…

chain embedded into the rock wall near the entrance. Entering the old mine, they came upon a pile of bones that appeared to be those of a large dog. As the sun was quickly setting, they determined to camp near the mine shaft. Sitting around a small campfire, they listened to what sounded like coyotes yipping in the distance. Not alarmed, they ate dinner around the fire until both men began to feel uneasy as the atmosphere changed, seeming thick and somehow charged. Before long, they heard the…

time to drop me off (we had two days left.) After playing games and laughing with us for days, my friend’s Mom was reserved and quiet on the way back to camp. Upon returning to camp, being carefree and 12 years old, we went outside to build the campfire and soon forgot about her odd behavior. On the final day, we quickly packed the car, closed up camp, and headed back home. I was excited to tell my family about my week and hear about their trip to Maine. As we approached the house, there…

Doomed to Die But Deathless: An Exploration of Yeats’s “Sailing to Byzantium” When we die, what do we leave behind? Do we leave anything? This question haunts us all, but none more so than anyone who creates. In “Sailing to Byzantium”, W.B. Yeats is painfully aware of his mortality, of all mortality, and can no longer bring himself to exist in a place where everyone and everything is doomed to fade and die. In naming Byzantium as his destination, he calls to mind an ancient, immortal city that…
