USD Magazine, Fall 2004

When Hari5h Praba 'q6 and Phong Vti 'q3 signed up to be camp c.o~nse\ors, they didn't know they'd get back fcsr rnore thcsn they gave. by Julene Snyder Photographs by Robert Burroughs I r's a long drive from USD to Apple Canyon Road, a journey that starts out on a multi-lane freeway that gives way to two-lane

blacktop, meanders up hills and

through meadows, past fire–

scorched acres that rise

into switchbacks over-

looking forever vistas.

But the trek is worth it,

because Apple Canyon Road

is a perfect place for a camp.

Buildings are scattered

about a sprawling meadow

sprinkled with trees;

there's a horse corral, a

cluster of teepees and a

wee pond stocked with

bluegill and catfish.

Phong Vu loves camp so much that he's come back for the last eight summers.
