Good Times

It has been awhile since I have been camping with the Boy Scouts, especially in the cold weather! I went with the scouts (11,12,13 yr olds) to Antelope Island Friday night. On the way in we say 2 big bucks and a doe. We arrived in the campground about 6 pm, and there were 2 buffalo's roaming the campground about 50 yards away.

One of the scouts needed to sleep out under the stars without a tent. We told him the buffalo's would lick him during the night.

I enjoyed the evening, making food, eating spaghetti and strawberry shortcake and telling stories around the campfire.
The scouts used a 2 liter bottle of hot water in the sleeping bag to keep them warm.
On Saturday morning, went to the sod farm and shot some clay pigeons. I can still hit 'em! Did a little genealogy after that and latter in the evening. On Sunday, sat down and looked at some old photos and books...fascinating, the history of our family! Went to the range on Saturday afternoon to sight in a few rifles. Looking forward to using the M1 Garand next Saturday, at a match in Logan.
Life is great! Had a wonderful (peaceful) Sunday!
