So we went yesterday to pick up Sunshine from a camp out. Sweet Sunshine, Happy Sunshine.... Dyslexic Sunshine. She wasn't given proper instructions before she left (mistake #1) so she and her friend had trouble finding it.
So I called her first thing in the morning so I would catch her in the tent. (Mistake #2) So the instructions I got were turn at Beaver-dam, then drive until you see a sign that says Goodville then drive until you see a sign that says Home-run campsite. Fine.
To make a long, hot driving story short.... I phoned from a gas station courtesy phone and finally narrowed it down to these directions: Drive THROUGH Beaver-dam and VERY SHORTLY you will see a sign for Goodville- ignore that. Then you drive another short amount and you will see 'water towers that are not water towers' (ignore them) then there will be a sign that says Home-run campsite. TURN. It is 1 km off the highway.
Sweet girl and we love her, but she can't give directions! (Lesson #1) GOOD GRIEF! What a hassle that was.
So then she goes into detail about how some of the other kids 'found' stinging nettle and she harvested it for tea. Oh, I said... is THAT why you are covered in a rash? She was camping with a group of paramedics and if they weren't concerned then I'm not either.
It should be noted that she is nearly 19 - old enough to poison herself with wild plants, if she so chooses... :-) (Lesson #2)
