So it was the annual maple syrup festival at the Lutheran Memorial Camp in Morrow County.\u00a0 Unlike other years, when snow or bitter chill is in the air, this was a balmy 70 degrees.\u00a0 The camp is the place of many memories, as I first visited here\u00a0on a school field trip when I was in second grade to see the actual syrup making.\u00a0 The syrup cabin, and all the equipment, is, alas, long gone.\u00a0 It is now just made fresh for this festival in a much smaller operation, there not being enough funds or staff to make all they used to make.\u00a0 Syrup still is imported from local syrup makers, but it still misses something.\u00a0 I would come back several times in my school years; to our sixth grade camping experience in November, and as a camp counselor myself in 1983 and 1984.\u00a0 But the old school, like so many, no longer comes here.\u00a0Hence the reduction in funds and staff. Perhaps the hipper zip-line and rock wall camps are preferred, or perhaps the\u00a0religious themes of the camp are a worry. I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 I just know it was good fun in its day, and I hope the family had a small shard of what I once enjoyed in the dim, shadowy reflections of years so long ago.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Oh, and the syrup wasn\u2019t just good.\u00a0 It was darn good. <\/p>\n
