The DU Lounge

We took grade school boys & girls camping at a church camp in the Sandia Mountains. Boys camped down the road from the girls in ancient cabins. Our staff cabin was right up against the girls large cabin. In the middle of the night all the girls began screaming and crying hysterically. We ran into cabin with flash lights and about 10 bats were up in the corners and swooping around the girls. I can still see their little mouths opening & closing in my mind.

We all ran about a half mile in the rain to the boys cabin and slept there.

We reported it to the church but they obviously didn’t take it seriously as the next yr someone was bitten by a bat in that same cabin and they finally condemned the cabin.
