...we had a little bit of rain overnight - the best time to have rain if you're camping - Ha!...
...so tents were a little bit damp in the morning...
...but everyone cheerfully headed up for breakfast at 7:00...
...and cleaned up afterwards...there were two shifts - and we were shift A - so all we had to do was wipe down the tables - shift B also had to sweep the floors...
...back at camp we had a Troop Flag Ceremony...
........then everyone headed off for their day of 'sessions' - Scout had the 3 hour Trailblazers class with the other Tenderfoots - or do you say Tenderfeet? - hehe...
.............We had a couple of Leader meetings - and we were asked to sign up to help with several things...
...the first thing we did was to man the Fire Tower - it's just one of the attractions that the boys can visit during their free time...
...Our Scout Master doesn't like heights - so he did not climb all the way up - he did come up about 4 flights - as the cel phone reception is pretty good up here...
...a nifty little map and compass...
...it was early evening - the views were still pretty spectacular...
...lots of treetops...
...looking down on the Mess Hall - the Log Pavillion and the Bell Tower...
...Bad Axe Lake...
...102 stairs - apparently at one time - you could buy a stair - as a fundraiser when they moved the Fire Tower here...
...as I said - 102 stairs - its a long way up ... or down...
...back at camp - the boys had fun building a campfire...
Thanks for the picture tour. I know you both enjoyed your camping trip. It looks fun from here. MOM

ReplyDeleteHi - I'm over here from Thistle Cove Farm. I saw that you live in ND. I lived in Bismarck from July 1985 to July 1988, and loved it, though the winters can be a little harsh. But I found the people to be wonderful. I was also a transplant there, originally being from SW OH, and now living in KY since 1988. I don't knit, but I do crochet, and love it. Nice to meet you! Take care, from KY.
