is still on for 9/5 - 9/8 at Plaskett Creek Group Camps #2 & #3 in big Sur in spite of the cold water and recent shark attack yesterday in Avila. Those of us who live nearby are dumb struck. The lady who was hit was a dedicated long distance open ocean swimmer. The lifeguards that swam out to rescue her deserve full HERO status in my book - the shark was still out there! My condolences to the woman’s family. On a lighter note, it’s been suggested that I update the ever growing list of raffle items. We are still selling tickets by mail at 1.00 each. Mail check or money order to: Lee Vanderhurst c/o Geotechnics Incorporated, 9245 Activity Road, Suite 103 San Diego, California 92126. We are also still accepting 10.00 deposits to camp. Mail check or money order to: John Mellor 271 Vista Ct Los Osos, Ca 93402 T-shirts are in the works. If finished in time, we will have some for sale at the event for 10.00 each. Any left and I’ll try to accommodate the requests I’ve received from some of you who can’t make it. As you can see, the Swaylock’s community is a generous crew - thanks you guys!!!
