That title may sound very confusing and grammatically incorrect. Technically it is grammatically incorrect because the "but" has nothing to compare with- except, unless, you know what is meant by the first part. Let me clarify: Cherokee Cove is a Christian camp just inside Tennessee. We have been going there since July, 2007, and we really enjoy being volunteers there. Yesterday we went to the Home School Family Retreat as the "host family." Shortly before dinner, a huge gust of wind came roaring in and the power went out. So the title basically means, "Cherokee Cove is a great place to go, but it can be a bit less enjoyable when the power goes out." There was no running water, no flushing toilets (except the first two times), no light (but some candles and flashlights), no electricity. This morning the power was still out and we all had to leave early. However, this post is not to complain, but tell of our adventurous past two days. Here are some pictures to document.

One of the many very steep roads at the camp (this picture is not a good representation of the steepness).
One of the beautiful views.

Then... the wind came.

Yesterday did end with a beautiful sunset.
Lydia and Dad this morning. (You may notice the jackets in July! After the storm, the temperature dropped a lot.)

Have a great Sunday!

Even when the power goes out it is fun at Cherokee Cove!
