| Oh boy. |
 |
| I knew it was only a matter of time. |
 |
| It is January, after all. |
 |
| So here we go again. |
 |
| 'Cause this lovely landscape... |
 |
| Is not 4-H Camp's lovely landscape! |
 |
| This old building in need of some repair... |
 |
| Is not one of Camp's old buildings in need of some repair! |
 |
| This isn't our warm and inviting fireplace! |
 |
| This isn't our rustic sleeping area! |
 |
| This is not one of the knives from the kitchen! |
 |
| And this isn't one of the flags we usually raise! |
 |
| This most cerainly isn't our lake! |
 |
| In fact, it's not a lake at all. |
 |
| It's a "loch." |
 |
| 'Cause I'm in Scotland. |
 |
| Yes, usually when this happens... |
 |
| I'm mystically transported to London... |
 |
| But not this time! |
 |
| This time it's Scotland! |
 |
| And it's filled with Scottish things! |
 |
| Like castles! |
 |
| (You might realize by now I only travel places with a portcullis.) |
 |
| Scottish things like... |
 |
| Cliffs! |
 |
| And crags! |
 |
| And me way up on top... |
 |
| Of cliffs and crags! |
 |
| Scottish things like women in phone booths! |
 |
| But wait! That's just not any random Scottish woman in a non-working phone booth for no reason! |
 |
| It's former counselor-CIT Coordinator-Assistant Director-Camp-Friend-extraordinaire-Jaclyn Bealer!!! |
 |
| Who is also in Scotland. (Obviously, I suppose.) |
 |
| But why!? |
 |
| Why are... |
 |
| WE... |
 |
| In Scotland!?! |
 |
| (If you read these blog posts every January, the suspense is certainly not killing you...) |
 |
| Why, we're here for the Camp America Job Fair, of course! |
 |
| Where we get the privilege of finding, in person... |
 |
| The next amazing group of international counselors to join the L.G. Cook 4-H Camp family. |
 |
| Counselors like Ruth! |
 |
| Like Sam! |
 |
| And like Nicol! |
 |
| Who all accepted their positions for Summer 2018... |
 |
| With equal parts... |
 |
| Sincere dedication... |
 |
| And goofy excitement. |
 |
| (Also, I found out in Scotland that I am unable to cross my own eyes. Learn something new everyday.) |
 |
| Our journey to Scotland was only the first step... |
 |
| In their journey to Summer Camp. |
 |
| And we can't wait for the next part, where they join us in Stokes Forest to help create the camp magic in Summer 2018. |
