May Camp voyage to the stars (or at least Oklahoma). A few good scouts and some adults trekked 366 miles to Slippery Rock Scout Ranch to canoe and hang out in the rain. Great trip. Great omelets. On the way back, dropped some dollars at a camping store in OKC. Learned a lot about Florida (more than we wanted to know).
