Troop 55 Wilderness Camping March 2006 | |
March brings warming weather and this year was no
different. During the day, the roads were very wet and soft, but by night were very hard. Rumor has it that Carols' Mini may have been lost in one of the ruts. | |
Roger brought the trailer up, but became stuck in the wet mud. Here is the aftermath. |

Shhhh! Don't tell Dave what Roger did to his trailer . . . |

After unpacking, it was time to get the fire started. With the ground wet, the fire wasn't eay to start, but after a while we had a roaring blaze. | |
Lunch for the adults was brats, beans and sauerkraut cooked over an open fire. | |
The Scout Camp Pool was sandblasted last fall, but they were not able to get the sand picked up before winter. We spent part of the afternoon sweeping and shoveling the sand into pile to make it easier to pick up later this spring. It's amazing how much sand they used! | |
After finishing at the pool, it was time for some games. Austin shows off his jumping ability. | |
Shawn, did you teach Cory how to use an ax? | |
Roy and Josh make pancakes. | |
We spent part of Saturday morning looking at the Cedar View cabin. Our troop has adopted the cabin and are starting to look at what to do with it. |
