Dismal Swamp ... Just outside of Williamsburg Virginia. It's a coed 6's, 3m3w and 370 teams camping at this weekend tournament for all levels from Open to rec.

It's 70, sunny and it did rain the night before. A puddle at MB position where your feet were completely covered. Yes.. we brought sand and dirt from a camp site to fill in the hole.. which just made it worse. Then, the rain came. Of course we played with the OLD BALL. The wind and the rain soaked ball were too much for most teams. But the AA and Open teams played on. By the time finals came around it was 45 degrees and cloudy. We didn't care, because beverages were flowing. If you ever get the chance, this is 21 and up.. First weekend in May. It's an amazing experience. www.thedigs.net. Camping, food, beverages, volleyball! FUN weekend! Yes it always rains at some point. But, it's also sunny.
