A Hike, a Hut and Some Pork Chops

We arrive at Camp Williams, set up camp and it's time for a little basketball...

It's always a good time for basketball

 Saturday morning: breakfast has been cooked and eaten, KP is complete. Time for a hike but first we have to double check the compass and make sure everyone has plenty of water.

The adventure begins. It is a mash-up of a scavenger hunt, an exercise in tracking and some first-responder training, woven together in a story told by Michael as we hike along.

                                                     First stop is the Nature Hut.

It's a good thing there is plenty of parking available...

                                                                                                   Garrett finds a place to park...

 

 

 

We happen upon a chapel in the woods. Time for a bit of a sermon. I forget what his text was. Perhaps something about seeking the lost...

 We find some clues, arrows  and foot prints on the path...

 

 

 We have discovered a crude shelter in wilderness.

 Inside the shelter there appears to be a gravely wounded scout.

The scouts discuss a good course of action to render first aid and figure out how to get him out of the wilderness. Then they decide they ought to go and dig a trap.

 

 

Is it deep enough? Yes, it is appears to be deep enough.

Enough of digging in the dirt...time for a little tree climbing...

 

 

 

 

 Patience pays off!

  
 Supper preparation begins with fire-making...

 

                                                   Now this is how we cook like men...

                                                And this is what men eat...pork chops!!

And on Sunday we end our weekend campout with a Devotional talk by our Chaplain's Aide.
