Where Is It? Part 4

This is the final edition of our month-long game called, “Where Is It?” We post a photo of some location around Boxwell Reservation–some obvious, some not-so-much–and you guess where the location is! If you get it right, you’ll win a photo of a Gizmo! Yay!

This last photo should be a bit of a challenge.  Good luck! Where is this photo?

p.s. If you’ve enjoyed the game, please say so.  We have plenty more photos we could use!

We’re starting to get into the hard ones now! Where is this photo?

Boxwell Reservation, 2015

Carl Adkins was well into his run as Reservation Director in 2015. At Stahlman, Max Briscoe served as Program Director and his Camp director (a professional no longer) was Steve Eubank. At Craig, JJ Norman was Program Director with Tony Turner as Camp Director. Parnell was closed as a resident camp, but a renaissance was around the corner. Cubworld’s c0-program directors were Amelia Berle and Melissa Paris. Rising star Jason Flannery was Camp Director.

There were lots of other programs happening on the reservation by this point, including an NRA shooting program and more. Jessica Pewitt and Tanner Waller ran the Pool. COPE was run by Tanner Shackelford and Justin Williams. Michael Allen ran the Boat Harbor. We THINK Cindy Sentell was head cook in 2015 (but may be mistaken) and Rob Ward was Head Ranger.

Seen here at the staff photos for the Administrative staff, Cubworld Staff (both by John Kasper), and Craig staff (Meredith MaGuirk). And yes, the year on the Craig photo is incorrect.

Boxwell Reservation, 2005

Carl Adkins was completing his second year as Reservation Director in 2005. At Stahlman, Randy Coats served as Program Director and his Camp director (still a professional) was Josh McClure. At Craig, Jon Elliot was Program Director with Allen Crawford as Camp Director. Parnell was by now closed as a resident camp. Cubworld’s program director was Dominick Azzara with Greg Brown and David Grimes as co-Camp Directors.

The Millennium campaign was over by 2005, which meant the pool had arrived. John Kasper was the Pool Director. COPE was run by Laura Hutchinson. Brandon Aldridge ran the Boat Harbor. Misty Williams was head cook in 2005 and Bill Freeman was completing year ten as Head Ranger.

Seen here at the staff photos for Stahlman and CubWorld.  We have no Craig staff for 2005.  We believe the Stahlman photo was taken by “Big John” Kasper.
