Last summer it was too much rain. This summer - no rain. Actually, we have not had enough rain here at the camp to create runoff since early April. Our entire area is in a drought, but it must be the worst immediately around us.
I've included a little weather map to illustrate a very common theme for the last three months. The rain heads our direction, it parts, moves around us, then merges back together on the other side. This weather map is from the storm that blew through last night. This image was captured about 30 minutes after is blew by us. No rain here. I don't know how, but no rain. Looking at this map, you would think we got some good rain. For some reason, it's just not in the Lord's time - yet.
Nonetheless, when it comes to summer camp, the kids have a lot more fun in the sun than in the rain. It's a little hotter than normal, but all the activities are open - with the exception of the entire new lake. Some of the new lake is now open, which includes the slide, rope swing, and swimming area, but about 2/3 of it is still awaiting the big storm.
