Ben" in the early & mid '60s, & our Troop also stayed in the cabins in the winter. The site was quite hilly & heavily wooded, with a large & rapacious racoon population that were not afraid of us, often going right into our tents if we had food. <BR/><BR/>My brother ran the daycamp there in the late '70s & early '80s. <BR/><BR/>The mess hall had a neat totem pole of T. Ben, his wife, & 3 assistants. When the camp was sold to the YMCA all the old buildings were torn down & no one seems to know what happened to the totem pole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12570492.post-72633091833462896752008-06-15T23:18:00.000-05:002008-06-15T23:18:00.000-05:00Spent 12 years at "T" Ben, from 1966-1978.
