March 23rd – 25th
Summary: We left the troop building under clear skies
but the clouds rolled in later that night.
About a 3-inch rain hit camp from 11:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. and
everyone got wet. Even Mr. Spencer’s new
airbed cot got a little wet. The creek
that is normally dry was about waist-high after the rain. We had a great turnout of men and boys on
this camp. Patrol cooking went fairly
well although we need to work on that skill some more. On Saturday morning, we cleared out more
wooded area for future camping sites.
Saturday afternoon and evening we had and airsoft tournament and then we
rappelled a 90-foot cliff just on the other side of the creek from camp. It was a small miracle that we got the
vehicles back down the muddy road and out of camp. The weather kind of cooperated on this camp
so we are really looking forward to MK Brown in April. Huge thanks to former 80 Scout Madison Scott
for loaning us his ranch for the weekend.
