East Carson River Rafting Trip

The High Adventure Patrol had and awesome rafting trip on the East Carson River. It was a cool weekend on this Class 2 River. It was nice to see many of the older scouts working and having fun together. Our Saturday stop featured several hot-springs next to the river, which was nice because it was 24 degrees overnight. The scouts made foil dinners for us on Saturday, and on Sunday we had an terrific breakfast with french toast, bacon, and slop (leftover potatoes, and vegetables from the previous nights dinner). We pulled out of the river in Gardnerville Nevada around 5:30pm on Sunday. We celebrated by having  Mexican food in Garnerville.

Thanks for a great trip,
Shaan

20-Miler

The Troop successfully completed another 20-Miler this year! The event took place on Saturday, March 10, with a large group of Scouts and adults completing the entire route from Evergreen Road to Cherry Oil Road. We had a lot of fun, enjoyed some beautiful scenery and had a fantastic barbecue at the end. All the Scouts worked hard and did an awesome job. Congratulations to everyone!

More pictures from the 20-Miler can be found at Picasa Photo Albums.
