Friday: Remember Lodestar
Rejoice in the friendships and spirit of Lodestar past.
Old and new friends arrived over the course of the whole day, then many arrived all at once! Let the party begin!
At 5:00pm, the BTL Team made introductions and described the journey of how Back to Lodestar came to fruition.
We shared a slideshow of old photos, said grace, ate dinner, and celebrated Peggy's birthday.
After the meal was over, we pushed the tables and chairs away, gathered in a large circle, each person introduced his or her self, and said a few words about what brought them to Lodestar. Sorry, no photos of this part, as we were all caught in the beautiful moment.

The Gods of Weather and Fire Danger allowed us to enjoy an outdoor campfire with singing on both Friday and Saturday nights. Campfire photos here.
Star Gazing was self-directed long into the night, as people pulled out their flashlights and wandered into the meadow to drink in the large sky covered with bright stars.
