I was at a summer “karate camp” in West Virginia. It rained every day, and the cabins were in bad shape. It was chilly too. Extended drills and sparing was the only way to stay warm. We got seriously fit.
In Western PA, I was at scout camp in Junior Leader Training. Just tarps, ground cloths and sleeping bags, no tents. Worst two nights of my life. No amount of trenching could keep us dry. They finally gave up and we hiked back to camp and cabins (We were supposed to be out for 4 nights). We were told not to get hurt because the only road to camp was flooded and they’d have to chopper us out.
I lived near Harpers ferry WV in 72, I was in 2nd grade and used to have movie film (super 8) of the flooding of the Shenandoah river and Potomac River.
