Abandoned Ring

A few weeks ago at an out of council summer camp one of the scouters discovered the outline of a huge arrow  at a fairly remote part of camp. The head, with a fire ring at its center, was an equilateral  triangle with 60 ft sides.  Everything was overgrown with weeds and tall grass. Clearly it had not been used for some time.   The road to it was in very poor condition it would take a lot of work and truck loads of gravel to make it driveable again..  I guess the camp just doesn't have the money and emergency vehicles must have access to all active camp areas so they just abandoned it.  My heart goes out to the arrowmen who spent years and decades  building and maintaining this magnificent ceremonies ring.  

May the memory of it live long in the hearts of those who took the Obligation of our Order there.
