At least 10 minutes fast, then more leisurely. Up the hill to Lonesome Lake hut with Dave and 10 kids, celebrating Izzy's upcoming July birthday. (She'll be in Erie on her birthday so this was to celebrate with her Cambridge friends.)

At dinner the hut kroo brought out a birthday cake, with lit candles (not normally allowed in the huts) and two people with fire extinguishers at the ready. They're a laugh riot, those AMC hut kroos.

To school for orienteering field trip.

O field trip with 6th grade class. Some fine navigators. Harriet in particular stood out in my group; Arun and Joey were pretty good too. David (who graduated from 8th grade on Tuesday) came along as a chaperone; he said Zedal picked it up well. Isabel made sure everyone in her group got a chance to navigate.

Setting controls; work and back a couple times; picked up CSA share.

Yesterday we picked up our first fish share, a big fish. We filleted it, messily, and Dave made a fine fish stir fry with black bean sauce. We boiled the carcass and poured the water on the tomato plants. We are wondering whether we should somehow prepare the fertilizer without cooking the fish, and how.
