Album:2014:07-05 Herrang
|
|
Herrang took many changes this year. Lennart left. Eddie decided to disband
Team Mission Impossible without asking the camp or Mission Impossible. Little by little, my connection
to what was once one of my homes has been eroding away. Sad.
The good news, though, was that it was Arielle's first year in Herrang!

They have a slapstick challenge,

Lennart is accused
of being a member of the alt-right and leaves camp. Really. So the meetings change up a bit. ( comments)

There was talk of ha..one of the meetings,
but then the camp realized it didn't like me and that got nixed fast. ( comments)
