Sweet November and winter chills made this escape from the noises back in the city even more special as we ogled at the Fireworks display across the valley at the Dukes Resort minus the sounds. Camfires and Barbecue nights became possible as nights got colder. Moonlight treks to see the "lights of Khopoli" or to the Grotto were often followed by Rum Punch and coffee to warm our insides upon return to camp. This November I recall the multitude of campers who celebrate their birthdays:
4th November - Savia, Mild mannered girl who transformed into the Hulk when she played Hockey!
7th November - Lenciann, A staged accident at DEAR Falls scared the living daylights out of her.
8th November - Juroska, came to camp as a baby... now no longer that little.
