Sand Dunes Dec 2012 Campout

The 11 year old scouts (Dale and Blake) joined the deacons for a fun day at the sand dunes.
The deacons and their leaders were definitely spoiled by the 11 year old scouts and their leaders with homemade chile, dutch oven brownies, and ice cream for dinner. Then pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hash browns for breakfast. It was great.
On Saturday we trekked up to the sand dunes and had some fun with a sled Bro. Fuller had brought.
Next time, maybe we can make some sand surf boards or bring some other items to slide on to the dunes.
There were tracks to follow of boys and animals. Not too many bikes thankfully, and a fun time of setting up tents in the rain and wind.

That's the group, or most of them

Maybe there was a lemon or sand in Gabe's hot chocolate?

Sliver Lake Flats October 2012

On the 19th of October, three scouts and leaders went up to camp above Silver Lake Flats up American Fork Canyon. It was a cold night, not as cold as we had thought it would be, and some of the boys even caught some fish the next day.

Deacon's Campout Hike to Red Lake 2012

We enjoyed the overcast and somewhat mild weather walking on the wooded slopes of the mountains up to Red Lake. We started at the Maple Lake Campground and hiked 1.7 miles up the trail to the lake (more like a dirty little pond now, not like it was 20 years ago). Four of the deacons went and it was the first for one of them. Everyone was a little stiff and sore the next day at church. It was a good backpacking campout and all the boys did a great job. The camp was well cleaned up and no one got hurt.
