“The Craneridge Boys and the Case of the Abandoned Camp”

Tom Bell will be sharing some thoughts about mystery and curiosity.

“It could’ve been the scene for a post-apocalyptic film. All these mysterious yet ordinary artifacts of once vibrant living: abandoned, it seemed, suddenly and unexpectedly, years, maybe decades ago. Comfortably appointed cabins, all warm woods and plush leather, with magazines of another time left on the tables. Rusting cars abandoned in the trees. A creek-fed swimming pool filled nearly to the rim with silt and muck. Yet not another soul in sight. What was this place? And who had once come here? Why had they left, and why had they left so much behind? The mystery was magical, and our curiosity burned like the summer sun.”
