Salem made it back alive from his camping trip! His shoes...I think they are toast! One mom had a good idea and sent her son in snow boots, why didn't I think of that one?? It was REALLY muddy out there! And it only got worse since it rained ALL day Saturday and Sunday! Salem had a BLAST though camping! They had some good food too. Lunch was pizza sandwiches and dinner was hobo pies. Breakfast they ended up coming back to town and cooked at the warehouse where the one Assistant Scoutmaster works. Nice and dry inside. They had pancakes and bacon, 6 pancakes and 8 pieces of bacon for Salem alone.
While camping, Salem tried his hand at fishing, didn't catch anything...noone did. He and some other boys went hiking and got lost, found their way back, just took a bit longer. They helped with food and cleaning up and also learned some new knots. Salem did avoid being with the group that fell in the river! Not sure what the kids were thinking...except they were boys and probably not thinking! Some of the kids were fishing and their bobber got stuck under some ice. Okay first off after our 50 degree weather who woudl have thought we'd still have ice and 2nd who woudl have thought the kids would have walked on the ice to get it. Oh wait, their boys! Thankfully the water was only knee deep so the kids didn't get TOO drenched. But still, not a smart move. But hey they got their bobber back!
He had fun, learned some stuff, made new friends, and stuffed his sleeping bag back into the bag (with some help) so all in all it was good! The next camping trip is at the end of April, maybe beginning of May, hopefully it will be drier!
