Shooting Camp

This months camp out was at the local shooting range where we did most of our cooking in dutch ovens and camped under the patio of the club house. A special thank you gose out to Mr Decou who arrainged everything, including free ammo, and taught us Hunter Safty.

Montana de Oro Camp Out

The Montana de Oro camp out was a great success, together we had 14 Scouts and eight adults including two families. We also had several adults drop by to take part in Saturdays activities. Despite the very damp fog and nightly interruptions by hungry raccoons everyone seemed to have had a fun and memorable camp out, (especially the "Hot Dog!" skit by the Moose Patrol).

Parkfield

The Parkfield cycling camp out was a success, we had eight boys and two adults take part in this local one night trip. We owe a special thanks to John Jamrog who owns the Boar Valley ranch where we stayed. John was also gracious enough to let us use the small cabin with running water and a flush toilet! We road bikes just over 15 miles, visited the town cemetery and treated our selves to sodas at the Parkfield Cafe where some of us enjoyed a game of horse shoes.

Parkfield is the boasted as the 'earthquake capitol of the world".
