Campout at Gardner Dam - April 5-7

The calendar may have said it was Spring, but our April campout at Gardner Dam definitely felt like winter! We pitched our tents on bare grass and woke up to 4" of snow, perfect for some unexpected sledding. But, the clouds cleared, the mercury climbed to a balmy mid-30s, and it was time for some baseball as well. Toss in some patrol competitions, a hike in the woods, and lots of good food, and it turned out to be a great campout after all.

This campout was a lesson in why a Scout should always Be Prepared. Definitely one for the memory books! Did I say 4" of snow? I'm pretty sure it was 6...or 8...
