As Colonel Pitspiter heads out on his tour of The Department of the Atlantic, The Commissary Deptartment was asked to file a report till he is able to.
My arrival at Camp Pitspiter was at around 4;30 on the 11th. to be able to set up the kitchen and help the Colenel with any tasks that were needed.
Since we now have running water, we finished the shower:
Supper was prepared for myself, sausage from the Corner Market in Sargent (their own) and some eggs:
Bowview Haymaker showed up later and ate the leftover sausage. He also had two days of road grime and hit the shower:
(His concern up on seeing the flash was that it would end up posted in the Barracks, there was no need for concern it did.)
The sunset over camp was wonderful also:
More setting up happened the 12th, The Colonel and Paul erected a tepee for the homeless ones there, however things didn't go well at first, and since I was sitting on the ground doing prep work and taking pictures there was no time to jump up and help, so I continued taking pictures:
But things got better:
Others arrived and set up camp, toward supper time things look a bit nasty in the west and the awning was quickly put up:
And then we got rain and wind:
But it quit after the awning blew down and "most" retreated to the tepee. The troops were fed, (report on the foods later.)
On the morning of the 13th we noticed things had not gone well for the Colonel during the night:
After breakfast the shooting began and we will rely on others for those reports.
A nice break was taken in the hottest part of the afternoons:
River City John showed up with a Swiss Vetterli and suitable ammunition:
And on Sunday morning before breakfast I was able to give it a quick test:
I will prepare a report of the meals prepared and eaten and others will file reports.
