The good, the bad, and the in between. 1 It was hot. Like, so hot it makes your skin shrivel up and actually steam while still on your body. This may seem a wee bit extreme, but if it does, you obviously didn't just spend an entire week at camp. 3 Chiggers love me. The feeling is not mutual. 10 My pale green flip flops will never ...
