Hi, I just saw your site, NICE! I was a camper at Camp Junipero Serra in 1969... It was one of the best summers of my life. I was digging through some old stuff and I found a postcard I sent home to my brothers... If you would like a scan of it, I will send one to you. Thanks for the site, it brought back so many memories... The Baden Powell hike, the Mine Gulch backpack and camp... Canoes... Giant Pancakes for breakfast... and the camp fires, songs and skits... what I time I had. Best Regards,
