After the "Bluff Run," we rode the return to tiffany for sale back to Port Townsend where we had an hour to explore the quaint downtown. First stop: Swain's convenience store, which, according to Metcalf, sells everything, except food. Although the absence of food was slightly disappointing for a group of runners with raging metabolisms, we managed to find a few treasures that proved to be far better than food. Laura Schmitt walked away with a shirt saying "YBTIH" and underneath in smaller writing the acronym reading, "Your Boyfriend Thinks I'm Hot." After trying to find someone that wanted the shirt, Laura finally came to the conclusion that she was really the one that wanted the shirt most. The freshman girls, after searching through aisles of everything from rain boots to lingerie, found badges; one for Metcalf and one for Mel Lawrence, identifying her as a Legal 21-year old. Metcalf's badge, specially adorned with blinking red lights for the extra tacky effect, read "#1 Coach", and complemented his outfit perfectly. That is, as well as something can complement a "Barney purple" poofy rain vest :-)After pocketing our Swain's treasures, we walked the streets of downtown Port Townsend, buying treats from coffee shops and frank gehry for sale bars, and window-shopping in trinket shops. A definite highlight of our short stay in Port Townsend was the Husky women's discovery of a jewelry shop with retail-priced, sterling silver jewelry. After trying on countless rings and studded earrings, almost every Husky woman left the shop with a souvenir ring to remember the trip.

Then it was back to the vans for the short drive back to camp. While happy to be back to camp, it meant it was time for the freshmen to get to work. After dinner would bring the legendary Freshmen Camp Skits; a chance for the freshmen to prove themselves as comedians, success at entertaining the upperclassmen is a feat that would not go forgotten. And so the script writing began...props were gathered and for one talented group, a chorus of voices could be heard out back of camp. Found doing something other than practicing was answered by a good-natured reminder from Big K (Kailey Campbell) that we had big shoes to fill and would we kindly get to work!A dinner of delicious leftovers (which still only made a small tiffany keys for sale in the overwhelming amount of leftover food) was followed by the freshmen hurrying outside to finalize the last parts of their skits and practice lines one last time.Then it was time for the climax of the week. First act on stage: Mackenzie Carter, Megan Goethels, Sean Krinik and Katie Flood. They played anchormen and women on the latest edition of the Fort Flagler News Station; what seemed to be a cute idea with the possibility of a few funny lines, turned into the comedy of the hour. Through roars of laughter (the loudest of those coming from Coach Metcalf), the four freshmen exposed every inside joke of the team, those that were light-hearted and also those that caused faces to turn crimson and eyes to water in overwhelming laughter. Surely a tough act to follow was done with stunning success. Every group to follow offered comedy and talent that even the upperclassmen could only greet with an honest round-of-applause. Aaron Beattie performed an uncanny impersonation of Coach Metcalf that had Metcalf thinking he really should look into hormones for the pitch of his voice...

Libby Miller, Kyle Blume, Phoebe Merritt, and Chris Brasino proving their incredible singing (and acting) talents...and finally a play at the game Silent Ninja, which had become a group favorite throughout the week. To end a hilarious night, groups of the Husky men took to the stage, asking different women to come sit in the hot seat at the center of the stage while they read poems they had written for different girls on the team. Needless to say, more uncontrollable laughter, a few more crimson red faces at the front of the room, and a declaration from Coach Metcalf that Allison Linnell now had tiffany 1837 for sale to slap Aaron and Kevin Mangan on sight.After thanks to everyone for an unmatchable night of comedy, one last item existed on the list of "must-dos" at cross-country camp. The Husky men and women headed outside to begin the annual game of Sardines around the campgrounds. Two Huskies hide within the designated boundaries, and then pairs of Huskies are released to find the two hiding. Each pair that finds the two hiding joins them and the last two to discover the hiding spot, lose the game. The creativity of distance runners was clearly displayed as the first pair of hiders chose to lie in the center of the giant grass field in the dark, but it ended up being a pretty tricky spot as many pairs walked right by them. Sardines proved to be more time for bonding (as random pairing was made between men and women), friendly stories, and shared laughs as we ran around in the dark trying not to be the last Sardines!
