We had a small "League Retreat" over the past weekend. It was a great time; great weather, great fun, etc. Of course we can't really call it camping at all, because though we were at a camp ground, the typical Japanese "campers" usually end up in a cottage with full electricity, included futons, and often air conditioning and heating. Hardly roughing it.
Anyway, below is the thumbnail to the gallery. You know the drill. The pictures of the stream you see are pictures of the coldest water on Earth. I know because we went swimming in it. We coulda given the Polar Bear Club a run for their money I think. I wonder if the PBC members squeal like girls as much as we did...
Please also bear in mind that I have a pretty strict filesize limitation set on my pictures, so they can sometimes have some pretty nasty compression artifacts. Sorry about that.
Finally, credit for many of the pictures goes to Will, who is far more energetic about taking pictures than I am. You can find his own version of the gallery here.

Looks freekin' pretty there, man. Compliments to Will for the shots.
So, was the water colder than running up the middle of a New England river in December? :-)
I almost joined the PBC in Shelburne this past winter 'cept that the member who invited me forgot to tell me where/when they were doing the deed. Probably a good thing for me...
