Location: |
Camp Kingsley, Ava, NY |
|
Dates: |
November 23-24 |
|
Who: |
A small crowd, but a great crowd... 4
scouts (Matt I., Brian F., Nick D., Patrick D.) and the standard
predictable, recent mix of adults (Koz, John, Mike, & Jim!) and
yet another troop mascot - Shelby! |
|
Notes: |
Yes... it was cold, and yes that IS snow
in the pictures. |
|
 |
|
Despite predictions of there being a few inches of snow,
we decided to brave the elements with these fine young men.
Instead of putting up tents and such though, we wimped out and stayed in
lean-tos. |
 |
 |
Careful planning ahead of time resulted in some very fine meals that
required almost no cleanup (!) and nothing fancier than boiling water to
cook. Even so, we ate very well on chili and rice for dinner, and
custom made omelets for breakfast.
|
| After dinner, we retreated to one of the cabins nearby
for some card games. (In case you wee wondering, that's a
lollipop in Brian's mouth.) |
 |
 |
We had an excellent fire pit, fueled in part by some
nice cherry wood. In addition to all the above, we hiked around
the lake, did some archery, threw some snowballs, and a little bit of
sledding! |
