    So...that concluded the summer of 2006...for the campers and cits anyway. However, for staff members, the summer does not end at festival. The morning after festival camp seems deserted, the summer theatre is trashed, and there's nothing left to do but clean it up, strike the festival show, pack up all the equipment, close up for the winter and go home. Here are some pictures of what went on after the campers left....

  • The summer theatre as it looked around lunch time on the day after festival
  • another view of the summer theatre at lunch
  • view of the audience section at lunch time
  • the rental equipment that's been packed up so far
  • the dimmer room at lunch time, after the dimmers, feeder cable, and PD box have all been struck
  • another view of the dimmer room
  • We now fast forward to the end of the work day...here's our crew after a full day of work closing up the summer theatre
  • Alexis flexes her muscles after a hard day's work
  • The summer theatre as it looked at the end of the day
  • The rental equipment is all packed and inventoried, waiting to get picked up on Monday...we didn't lose a thing by the way...not even 1 safety cable!
  • The inside of the summer theatre as it will look until we return in June...except that Forrest will probably take that ladder for something between now and then.

    And then we all left the next day

    As you probably know several of us returned to camp 4 days later for the weekend to celebrate the wedding of Sam and Kerry. Buck's Rock was a great setting for this most unusual (in a good way) wedding. It had bonfires, s'mores, wiffle ball, frisbee, the gong, breakfast in the dining hall, etc. It was also great to see so many former Buck's Rockers again. So, without further ado, I bring you pictures from:
