  • The only sources of shade are two old oak trees located at the eastern edge of the former lake.

Camp Rules and Ownership

  • The hammock between the two oak trees belongs to the Warden, and campers are prohibited from using it.
  • The Warden effectively "owns" the shade, underscoring the power dynamics within the camp.

Wildlife and Safety Precautions

  • Rattlesnakes and scorpions inhabit the area, seeking refuge under rocks and in holes dug by campers.
  • General advice regarding rattlesnakes and scorpions: they tend to avoid humans; therefore, they won't attack unless provoked.
  • Though a sting from a scorpion or bite from a rattlesnake can be painful, they are typically not fatal.

Yellow-Spotted Lizard Danger

  • The yellow-spotted lizard poses the greatest threat to campers; a bite results in a slow, painful death.

Wildlife and Safety

  • Rattlesnakes and scorpions inhabit the area, finding shelter under rocks and in holes dug by campers.
