Our first year at Natural Bridge our biggest challenge was helping folks jump start their car. This is the first year that Rich and I have had campers with emergencies. The first was a woman who fell and broke her arm while walking the trail in back of the campground. Rich drove her friend to their car so that the friend could drive the woman to the hospital. Our next excitement was the arrival at camp of the State Police and three sheriff vehicles. We were told that a young man or two were assaulting women on the trail between Union Creek and Natural Bridge. Our job was to notify the campers, especially the camp with all women and keep our eyes open. Maybe a week later we had a camper arrive at our camp stating that her husband thought he was having a heart attack. Not good. This emergency required using the NFS radio to call for paramedics and an ambulance. A few days later the wife and their son came to take home their trailer and camp gear. Her husband was doing well. Okay, that was our first four weeks at Camp Webegone. Since then we have had nothing serious, just keys locked in their vehicle, until this week. Monday a guy broke his ankle. Another call with the NFS radio asking for paramedics and an ambulance. As of today he has not returned to claim his stuff which is a dilemma for us. It is Labor Day Weekend and we may need every available campsite. All that said, Rich and I are doing well. Healthy and fit, at least for our age. Wishing you all a safe and fun filled holiday.
