Troop 55 Red Flannel Camping 2006

adirondack

It was our second attempt at red flannel this year. January didn't cooperate - who would believe that it could be too warm? We had one group that made red flannel in early February, and now it was our turn. We had great weather (?) for a red flannel camp out.

We had adirondacks to use. With a ground cloth covering the front, the wind stayed out.

fire

On a cold morning, the most important thing is get a good fire going.

One requirement is cooking over wood. Burgers, chicken and beans - what else could you ask for?

We had a service project for the camp. Last summer, many trees were lost in a big storm. There were piles of wood stacked in the forest. . wood

Supper Trying to stay warm until supper is ready. When the sun went down, it got cold quickly. 4 degrees and wind makes you glad to have a very warm sleeping bag.

On a cold night, a campfire is a wonderful thing! night1
frozen_water Yes, the water in the wash basins froze as did any water remaining in the water jugs.
Warming up by the fire until breakfast is ready. Lots of fun and a great time was had by all.. morning
