Our February activity was to attend the district Winterall at LeRoy Oaks Forest Preserve. Here are a view pictures from that event. | |
Foil dinners made for quick cleanup. | |
Scoutmaster Dale Blotter passes the foil dinners to Nick Del Muro and Cameron Seay (this was the first campout for both boys.) | |
Cheyne Heaton dressed in the latest Russian military surplus. It was Cheyne's first campout also. Evening temperature was around 20 F. | |
Nick Del Muro. | |
Yours truly. I enjoyed hot chocolate from the thermos my daughter Cora bought me for Christmas. | |
Joseph Larson. His first campout with braces. Lookin' good, Joseph! | |
Zach Tritsch made an easy chair out of a snow ball. Brrrr! | |
Crazy Zach in his chair. | |
The better looking half of the Winterall staff. | |
Preparing to make dessert for the cooking contest. | |
Chocolate pudding cake with marshmallows. | |
Premeasured ingredients in plastic bags makes for easy work. The cake was good. Nice job, Dale. | |
Unknown scout - not one of ours - tries in vain to dry socks and boots. A note to moms: don't send your boys out on a winter outing with cotton socks and poor boots. | |
Dale Blotter is in the sled for the traditional sled race. Joseph Larson and Kirk Gray strategize. | |
And they're off! | |
We didn't do so well in this race. That's us rounding a tree in last place. | |
We had better luck in subsequent heats. When it was all said and done, we got a ribbon for third place. | |
Chris Reynolds and Robbie Blotter. | |
