City Boy Freaks Out

This is a story that Caren will tell for years to come....

We are coming out of our tent cabin at Eagle Island Camp about midday, heading to the main building. As we walk along the path, we hear a noise to our left. There, not 10 feet from us, is a bull elephant walking in the camp, heading towards us.

What does Jordan do? He yells "RUN" and starts doing so.

What does Caren do? She whips out her camera and starts to take the elephant's picture.

What does the elephant do? He keeps heading towards us because what he really wants is to get over to the water and start eating some more fresh grass. These elephants eat and crap all day.

Here is the fellow who stars in this story:
















Caren delights in recounting to people how Jordan freaked out when the elephant made his surprise appearance. Obviously, this camp has ZERO fences around it and animals could meander thru the camp whenever they wanted.
