And, for my friend Ernie, it's the best time of year. He was up at the annual reunion (this was the 43rd) of that miracle that happened up in Bethel, NY in '69 and he reports that the spiritual nourishment that he always benefits from is still as strong and vibrant as ever.
He reported that while sitting around the campfire, camping out and enjoying the idyll - like country side up there in Sullivan Co., he kept thinking, "This is how life oughta be all the time." Well...not going to happen anytime soon, but that's OK. The nourishment one gets there lasts all year (or, if ya gotta miss one, til the next time you can make it.)
Facts about those reunions....
Everybody is welcome and invited. You'll be loved just for showing up.
You will be camping amongst some of the best people anywhere in some very, very beautiful scenery.
Costs are very, very reasonable.
They happen every year, even tho it's hard to find info on the web.
They are very, very family friendly. Always see many family groups, extended and otherwise, and the kids LOVE it there.
It's the kind of even where you can walk up to any campfire, hang out with the people and meet friends and family you haven't met yet. It's all about sharing.
So, OK, I just made a few sweeping generalizations there without offering any evidence that support them. I can supply the BEST evidence there could ever be. Question the veracity of what I say? Easy to prove -- just show up. It might take you all of about 5 minutes to realize what I say is factual. So there!C'mon out. Guaranteed you'll have a great time.
