Yellow River October 2015 | |
| Yellow River is always a fun camp out. Lots to do there, many great trails. This year, our older scouts were going to do a Philmont prep day. Saturday, head out with backpacks loaded and head toa back woods camp. Freeze dried food, filtering water, and moving camp. They were looking forward to it. There were other in camp activities for those scouts staying at base camp. | |

Saturday morning cooking. Each parol had their own area for cooking. |

A beautiful weekend to not even set up the dining fly. |
