Nothing Much Else Happened: June 25, 1978

★ Highlight Day

Today was one of the best days of the year. I flew to Sky Valley Ranch, my camp. This is my third year here, and I really feel comfortable. We flew in on Continental Airlines and I played Pub Pong on the DC10. They met us at the airport, and 1½ hours later we left for camp. We stopped at McDonalds, and then the final leg of the trip (and the longest — 4 hours). When I got here, my girlfriend Lisa Pettijohn was not here, but she should be here soon. There's only one guy in our cabin that was in my cabin the other 2 years — Jim Chedister. Everyone calls him Chestnut.

Look at me — a girl in every port! *rolls eyes*

Sky Valley Ranch is located in Buena Vista, Colorado. I continued to go to Sky Valley and its sister camp (for older campers) Round-Up Ranch through 1982, and then served as a counselor in 1983-1984.

I've tried so hard to track down Jim Chedister. Never been able to find him.

All punctuation and spelling has been retained precisely as I wrote it 32 years ago at age 12.

What's this all about? This is what it's all about.
