Well, we just got back on Saturday afternoon from a few days up at camp, and I'm so excited to share some of the photos that we took so that you can see just how different camp looks in another season other than summer!

The fall colors are about a week ahead of what they look like downstate, but it still isn't fully fall up in Oscoda. The leaves sure are changing though, and that made for beautiful trees along the camp road!

We spent friday and saturday at camp working on cleaning out the kitchen, packing the van full of the craft cabin materials and other paints that would freeze in the winter, and enjoying fires in the lodge at the end of the day! : ) Not many people know about all the work that goes in to closing camp down for the winter, so hopefully you're able to get a little glimpse today! One of the main projects like I said was cleaning out the kitchen. If you didn't hear, camp lost power right before Mother/Daughter weekend in September, so that meant that the majority of our food spoiled. Ptarmi and I had the fun job of disposing of that food and giving the fridge a major scrubbing and wash down to ensure that it stayed clean over the winter. We also covered all of the dishracks (it helps keep the dust and other things out over the winter) and packed away any paper goods that our little mouse friends like to use for their homes! After we pretty much finished with those projects, we spent some time up the hill taking down the Outer Limits boulder wall, and other initiatives.

We were so thankful for the warm weather while we were up at camp. Hopefully only a few more trips before we will have everything ready for the winter! Hope you enjoy some pictures of camp in the fall!
