Mini-Spike

We went on a 3 day mini-spike to get us redy for our first real spike! We didn't go too far from Perryville.....about an hour and a half. We stayed in they cute cabins that had a kitchen and porch. It was in a girl scout state park....Killens Pond. Sounds pretty scary right.....the lake in the park is called Murder Kill Lake! We were prepared for anything....we made up a scenario just in case a serial killer came after us at night....fortunately I lived! For our work that week we spent 2 days at Lums Pond and the last day we went to Fort Delaware. At Lums Pond we painted and tiled the Recreation Center.
We finished it so fast that the third day they sent us somewhere else, Fort Delaware. We took a ferry ride over cause the Fort was on a man made island.
Apparently the Fort is really haunted....the show Ghost Hunters came there a couple years ago and they filmed a ghost. The guys working there showed us exactly where the ghost was seen and then they told us that this is where we would be working for the day! I was pretty excited cause I really wanted to see a ghost, but nothing happened :( It was still fun though...at the end of our work day the guys gave us a tour of the Fort and we got to see al of the rooms that they restored so far....I also saw some rooms where Generals were being held captive and there were signatures and dates written all over the walls....it was pretty cool!
