Winter Campout

Saturday morning brought very strong winds to the area. Everyone was forced to cooking on the ground behind a wind buffer.

All the patrols got their dining flies set up Friday night, only to wake up Saturday and find them collapsed and their many pieces scattered about.

We camped at Perfect North Slopes next to their snow tubing area in this nice grassy field.

One of the older scout patrols turned their dining fly into a wind shelter in an effort to stay warm.

One of the events in the klondike was fire building.

Another event in the klondike was a sled race. Unfortunately the only thing missing here is the snow.

Each team had to pull their sled with one of the assistant scoutmasters riding on-board.

Perfect North was definitely lacking snow on Saturday. Some runs had less snow than others.

After lunch we started our 8-hour skiing session.
