Friday, June 27, 2008 Lewis Peak camp out and hike

We camped at the trail head to Lewis Peak at North Ogden Divide. Each scout brought their own supper while our scout master made cinnamon rolls in his two dutch ovens. We camped under the power lines and was hiking by 7:20 Saturday morning. Most of us made it to the peak by 10:30. It was 5 1/2 miles in. The wind was blowing lightly to keep things cool. The catipillers were all over the place and the spring wild flowers were beautiful. We took a couple snap shots of the beautiful view of the Ogden area, ate some snacks, then headed back. We had a quick lunch of submarine sandwiches and were home by 2:00 p.m. The scouts had fun and did something most people in the valley never do - hike to a beautiful peak above Ogden valley.

Spring Campout To Anderson Cove

Well, we finally got camping this spring
with a overnight campout to Anderson Cove.




We camped on the east side, which is fairly primitive. It rained a little and the scouts spent the evening playing by the lake. We made our own suppers, if you call Subway making your own supper.



Our scoutmaster brought up some extra steaks and shared them with us. For some, it was a first steak in this life! He also made dutch oven cinnamon rolls with white frosting. What a guy! Norm Young and Ryan Harris were nice enough to spend the evening camping, while Julie Young secured the campground with the Webelos Scouts soaking in the rain most of the day.




The sunset was beautiful, along with the morning sunrise. Several scouts spent the morning swimming in the lake.
