The answers to today’s threads, game #491, are …
- BUNK
- LAKE
- Flagpole
- CANTEEN
- Lodge
- Fieldhouse
- Spangram: Summer camp
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 tip
Although the summer camp is mainly an American experience, I was very familiar with the excellent comedy song that gave us the theme of the day – Hi muddah, hi dad (a letter from camp) by Allan Sherman, with his excellent story of a whole camp that strikes various suffering and disasters.
Despite knowing the kind of words we were looking for, I still struggled to start today and got bunk through a tip.
After getting the flagpole, I remembered that I had stayed at a camp once in the UK, and one of the activities/tortures we had to do was climb up a 20ft bar and stand on top of it. We were on ropes and seat belts, but I still remember how much my legs winged as I waved myself to the summit. I am sure all a lot of character structure. Help me with muddah.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
