Saturday was a great day - cool but dry.  The campout included hikes, mini geocache hunts (day and night), games, and stories around the campfire.

The cooking for this campout was excellent.  There was some simple fare like hamburgs and hotdogs but there was also more complex meals.    Tim J cooked up some great Sloppy Joes from scratch.  Nick cooked homemade pizza from scratch using a dutch oven and then followed it up with some dutch oven corn bread.  Josh cooked up some dutch oven Chicken Fricassee with baked potatoes.

The forecast for the night called for 90% chance of heavy rain.  Based on this we all bunked in the cabin for the night.

Thanks to all the boys and dads that made the event a success.
