That's like the christians in Ocala bringing tons of candy to the
gathering. There was so much people were taking away hand fulls and
filling their pockets. it was like a candy shop in the woods with
A-camp just a bit down the road. It was a total sugar vibe, everybody
buzzed and franetic. that being said it seems as though the christian
camps at Ocala are starting to understand some of the complaints and
trying to work out compromises with other kitchens and take into
account others feelings.
