Troop 323 had a great winter camp out. We drove to Steamboat Rock State Park on Banks Lake near the Grand Coulee Dam.
We ate in Davenport at Edna's Drive In and arrived at the park around 8pm. We got a fire going, set up tents and put out our sleeping bags.
Our campfire included a hot cup of cocoa, some songs (we were in trouble til Howard saved us), a game of run sheepy run, thank you Matt Borders, a visit from Ammon and how a scripture prophet epotomized the scout law...Bravery and Helpful come to mind. We also had two reports; one on eagles by Zac and the other on Banks Lake by Daniel.
We or at least some of us turned in about 10 pm.
Aaron was up early to warm up and get the fire going. We had a hot and hearty breakfast of "All in One" breakfast from the dutch oven. ( hashbrowns, eggs, sausage and cheese)
About 9 Kent Morris joined us and we hiked to the top of Steamboat Rock for an awesome view of Banks Lake in north and south. We also saw a small herd of deer.
We returned to camp, had some lunch, broke camp and headed to Northrop Canyon by car.
There we hiked to Northrup Lake and got back to the trucks about 3.
All told we did 10 miles of hiking. We did spot 3 eagle but not the hundreds that have been reported.
The weather couldn't have been nicer, given it was early February.
Thanks to Kam, Howard, Aaron and Kent!

Nice work Chris. Lots of fun!
brrr... some of those pictures look mighty cold! Looks like another successful scout outing. Good for you!
Actually the weather was pretty agreeable. I think the overnight low was around 30. The daytime as in the 40's for sure. No one was cold or uncomfortable.
