A dip in one of the local swimming holes (this one below Upper North Falls) was a popular way to beat the 90-100 degree heat. Here are Watermusic and Lyonscribe, cooling off.


CLASS: Making a Wizard’s Staff (Moonwriter and Wild Bill, her campsite)

Thanks to Prof. Dragontree's notes and ideas, we were able to pull off the ‘Making a Wizard Stave’ class. It was one of the most popular of all! Here (l-r), Aurora1, Treeotter, Cate, and WillowRune select staves from the pile of apple, willow, and hawthorne "blanks" provided by the instructors.


Will Bill explains some of the lore and traditions of staffs and staves.


Wild Bill shows Whiskerwind how to fine-tune her stave.
