The torna- do, packing winds of up to 70 miles per hour, cut a path more than 1.5 miles long and approxi- mately 75 yards wide. Most of the damage was done near the Elm- large, 80-year-old oak tree in half. “The top of the tree was twisted,” said the Elm- crest resident. “Considering the size of the tree, the damage was very impressive.

In addition to the “in-camp” projects, the campers have com- pleted projects such as creating homemade horse and wagons out of construction paper. They placed essential supplies that were used and needed during the Gold Rush era into their agons. The campers also learned how to mind for gold and what techniques were used in 1849. Techniques such as “strip mining” and “pan mining” were specifically taught during the camp. The campers created individ- ual sections of quilts from con- struction paper with their favor- ite design. Each camper made a separate piece and when all were completed, the pieces were strung together to make one large quilt. In order to record what they had done, seen and experi- enced, Brague had the students create personalized journals. These journals contained trea- sure maps and a history of their encounters. Brague dipped the outside of the journals (a paper bag) into tea and coffee to let to dry in order to make the journals appear extremely old looking.
