On the way to Transformus, Spin and I stopped at a gas station for ice. We unloaded enough to get to the empty coolers, filled them with ice, reloaded and took off. While unloading at camp, I asked, "Where is my other cooler? The one with all the cheese and butter for the 72 grilled cheese sandwiches?" Spin said he had noticed an extra cooler in the parking lot near the freezer, but thought it had already been there and wasn't ours. So, I had nine loaves of bread, and nothing to go with it.

While I set up my tent, a campmate walked up, with a couple of girls, asking if I knew where a certain person was, because they heard he might have an extra invite. I didn't know where he was, but through a series of unfortunate incidents and lack of incidents, I had ended up at Transformus as one person with two invites, so I offered my extra. They were very pleased and asked what I wanted for it. I told them, "Two pound of cheese, and two pounds of butter." I gave them the ticket, and they called the incoming person to tell him what to bring. I realized later that I had made a mistake; I actually needed six pounds of cheese, but when he arrived and they found me again, they had brought six pounds of cheese.

The next day, there was plenty of hot gooey goodness at Science Camp. (Thanks to Megan and Wineman for helping cook! ) Despite my ineptitude, the grilled cheese found a way.
