[Loch-soilleir] Oh, what a small world...

[Holly Frantz]

I felt a bit lonely at first and I did keep looking around for the latrines, etc.  I've found that the SCA area is really pretty limited to the area around the dining pavillion.  Also, the car park is really close so it makes it seems less like camp (the car park may have been there when I was a camper but I don't remember it).
 
One thing I have never done and I would not recommend to you, is to walk down the trail and go over the bridge.  I think that would be more than a little eerie.
 
But I do have get a lot consolation out of the fact that the area is still a park and hasn't been sold to developers.
 
Now I have a lot of good SCA memories from the site.  It does look different with the pavillions up.  I think you would be ok but if you come out and find that you need to talk about it, come find me.  I'll be at the A&S display in the dining area (which really seems a lot smaller than I remember).

Wow, really?? You were there too? So *many* memories from that place... I'm just not sure I can handle it. Did you wish you just hadn't gone back there after you went to the site again? And looking at the park map, what on earth did they do with all the latrines and shower houses?? I only see one shower, way over where Trail's End used to be, which is the opposite of where it looks like the group camping sites are... that's not a hike, that's an expedition! I hated that walk when I was young and fit. LOL It just seems odd, especially for a state park. 

I was really looking forward to Loch Guardian, even if I had to spend most of the sunlight hours in the nice cool Porter Walmart to keep from melting. Now I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. Oh well, at least a I have a couple more weeks to make up my mind.
