[Mt-blind] Camp Eureka a Success!

[Dan Burke]

Well, it's the desire but the technique makes a world of difference
too.  It can save a lot of trial and error.  We had a couple of minor
accidents, but camp was a place where no one made a fuss about some
spilled food, and the kids went rigth back and did it again!
