Klondike Derby 2018

Two-man saw

Fire building speed test to burn string above fire

Klondike Derby was held at Camp Squanto on Jan 27, 2018. Mild temps meant for no snow. Our new sled is nice and light but needs more clearance to get over the pine needles and bumps. Competing with troops from around MA, our troop did very well in a series of challenges including bowline rescue, bear bag toss, turkey shoot, etc.

Sandy Neck camping trip

The weekend of Sept 9, 2017, we camped at Sandy Neck park. We hiked to camp for a few miles along the beach. For the way back, we hiked along the marsh. There are nice campsites sheltered behind the dunes among some pines. Park staff supplied camp with water and firewood.
