Eagle Cave April, 2016 | |
| Eagle Cave has long beena favorite campout of Troop 55. Where else can you sleep in a cave and explore it? Normally, we camp there in January. This year, weather did not allow us go up there in January, so we were force to g in April. Spring is a wet time, and it was! | |

The mess hall and main lobby. The main hall has food and an arcade. Besides food, you can play games and evening Bingo in the Mess Hall. |

Where we slept. Even with tarps under and over our gear, it was wet. First time I have ever seen it raning inside. |

The other side of the cave with more people sleeping there. |

The new scouts find some fun areas to explore. There were lights in the main part of the cave. But the fun areas were dark without headlamps. |

|
Some areas were narrow |
|
Some you could go on hands and knees, others you crawled. |

Some of the outdoor scenery |

There was an outdoor activity walking the gold nugget trail. There were "gold nuggets" to be found. |
|
After caving, the scouts have fun at the arcade. |

|
Along the Gold Nugget trail was a really unusual flower. |
