Losing Part of My Youth...

I thought this might have happened but it's dismaying nevertheless. In the great California fires on October 29, 2003, Camp Hual-Cu-Cuish burned entirely. Hual-Cu-Cuish (pronounced wa-ca-cush) was “my” Boy Scout Camp, the site of all of my summer camps with Scouts as well as my Order of the Arrow Ordeal. I am well and truly bummed. I love Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, especially Stonewall Peak, but the whole park is closed now until it recovers sufficiently from the fire to be safe. This really brings home the saying “my heart is heavy” because my heart feels like it weighs a ton right now.
