scout camp

As I mentioned in the previous post, Alex went to one week of scout camp.  Alex was the scout master, so he had to "suffer" through this rough week... Nathan and Jared both went.  They took a boat out to Santa Cruz Island, then backpacked for a couple of days.  They hiked 14 miles and had to carry all their water.  It actually was rough doing that, because Alex carried 3 extra gallons of water so that they wouldn't run out.  

This is what Alex posted on FaceBook:  "Just got back from a great scout camp out on Santa Cruz Island. So proud of the boys for making the 14 mile backpacking trek gaining over 1400 feet of elevation from Prisoners Harbor to Scorpion Harbor while carrying ALL of their water. We also got to kayak into several sea caves and even had time to earn a few merit badges. Great job Young Men."
