Day 3-"Drama Queen"

So we had our first trail name given to Cameron on Day 3, but before I go into that I figured he deserved an intro other than Curtis' little brother.

Cameron was the wild card on this trip. I had spent some time with him before coming out here when I was hanging out with the Allred's, but he had always been quiet. I was nervous he wouldn't fit in, seeing that Curtis, Aj, and I had spent a long time developing our friendship and
sense of humor. On top of all this, Cameron injured his ankle just before we left on this trip and I was afraid that nursing his ankle might take away from our trip.

Cameron has put all those fears to rest. He joined in on Aj's and my nerdy jokes day 1. He has been a champ, crushing the hikes on the high mile days. The only times we have rested for his ankle are the days Aj and I are too ashamed to tell Curtis we are sore, so we ask Cameron how his ankle is feeling.

On day 3 Cameron was dubbed with the trail name "Drama Queen". A trail name most hikers would veto in hopes for something more flattering, Cameron owned it, with a smile on his face, as soon as it was proposed. While we were cooking dinner with some other hikers, Cameron freaked out and was yelling something incoherently. Once he calmed down, we figured out the cause of all the commotion had been a little spider. One of the other hikers named him "Drama Queen", and he has lived up to the trail name ever since (in the best way possible). There is never a dull moment with Cameron, he adds drama, humor, and a personality that is uniquely his own. Our little party of four would be incomplete without him.
