You just said the ”O” word we’re all in for it now.
Un-happy camp
Theres no unhappy camp during fire season. Many Happy Campers need the extra income.
I call it Sad camp
Happy Camp, where you are happy to be back in camp because you have been converted to 90% billy goat and 10% human and more than likely you will find out you have muscles that you never even knew existed.
Talk to the folks that spent 3 weeks+, in the heavy smoke, there in 1987. Many are paying a very dear price now. Be careful what you wish for.
The only thing happy about Happy Camp is seeing it in your rear view mirror.
The only thing I remember on the Elk Complex there was bees and flies on the salad bar, I guess no salad bar now…
And stopping at the Seiad store for some State of Jefferson swag and a monster for the long trip back to Yreka
I know one of the 1987 survivors. It has wrecked his lungs and he is still working. But, I will agree with the rest, the happiest part of Happy Camp is seeing it in my rear view mirror.
Now, how about downtown Orleans? I can’t wait to see that base camp again!
