Girls Camp

I grew up with Josie and have lots of fun memories. One year at girls camp we were camping up Kanosh canyon I believe. We were probably about 14. This year there were lots and lots of Rattle Snakes. Josie decided to catch them and cook them in the camp fire and eat them. She made spears out of sticks and would stab them. I remember sitting across the picnic table watching her skin them. She would put the skinned, deheaded, snake on foil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and wrap them in the foil. Then on the last one she laid it down and started salting it, it began to coil up! Yuk! I was so grossed out that to this day when I hear of people eating rattlesnake I think of Josie!

Another girls camp we were up Springville canyon. On the second to last night we all saw a campfire burning outside of the girls camp boundaries. Around it was a whole bunch of guys causing a rucus. After the leaders went to bed Josie decided she was gonna go meet them. A couple girls went with her to make sure she came back. After a really long time we could see them still down there and a bunch of us got worried. So we headed down the hill to get them to come back. Well halfway there the Leaders started yelling at us and we told them what we were doing. They went to get Josie and sent the rest of us back to camp. But we ALL got in trouble and had to sleep in the big tent with the Leaders. I think of it now and just laugh. Josie was always the one who was either finding or starting the adventure! She was so much fun. We always wanted her along with us.
