Near a great Family Campground with the name a great Campground book.
Placed on one of the Many Family weekends I spent with my Family and most of our close Friends. We've been Camping together now for 5 years or more. This was the first Group outing of 2008. 6 Families, you could say a "Clan" of sorts. 15 of our kids aged 2 to 14 enjoyed all the park had to offer- (which is lots) and the adults enjoyed many beers to celebrate Canada day.
Located easily by all modes if you are a camper. However there has got to be another way in to this perfect road. My daughter and I spent some Daddy time remembering when I took her with me on our first Cache over 6 Years ago ( as of July 2008) . I love it when she’s with me.
A Green ammo box in an oblivious place for most seasoned cachers and not much of a challenge for those that is new. Original contained as much useful Dollar Store items that would fit. Please trade fair.
The Book of the same name was a true story: Imagine a lush green valley, dotted with prosperous farms and towns. It could be anywhere in North America—the Okanagan in B.C., the Niagara orchards of Ontario. In this case it happens to be the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. But on one hill, South Mountain, lives the a clan of impoverished, inbred hillbillies, ignored or shunned by the people in the valley below for two hundred years. Few have much schooling, most are unemployed, and they keep almost entirely to themselves.
Two solitudes side by side, until one day in January 1984, Sandra Golder, aged thirteen, burst into tears in class. When her teacher took her out into the hall to ask her why she was crying, a gruesome story of incest and sexual abuse began to emerge. Within hours the story had spread to the principal, a social worker, and finally the police. Within weeks a full-fledged scandal had been unleashed on the valley: sixteen adults—men and women—from the Mountain were charged with hundreds of allegations of incest and sexual abuse of children as young as five. It gradually became clear that this had been going on for generations, a cycle endlessly repeated.
A Great Campground book for this area that tells the amazing story not only of the court cases that followed, but the way the valley community reacted. Dark secrets weren't the exclusive property of the Golers: the townspeople had their own, including the fact that some of them had known about the abuse for decades and done nothing about it.
If you ever try reading the book Yeehaa!- Please update your find with a comment on it. All those Literature inspired folks out there should like this one.
