Entry - July 13, 1936

9:00 P.M. We had a good picture show in the mess hall tonight. The name of it was “Coronado” There is a good sized forest fire burning up on the side of Mt. Cannon. A crew of boys from our camp is fighting it. We had clothes inspection this afternoon.

Comments From Chris -

I guess I haven't much thought it about since everything has matched up, but the weekdays this year match up exactly with the days and dates in 1936. The Friday night dance actually took place on a Friday in 1936. How convenient. Curious about the picture show? Take a look here.

Mt. Cannon is about 18 miles from camp. You can see it on the map below.
