I enjoyed a great Klondike Derby for the 8th time in the past 9 years as a scoutmaster. It was a blast. The weather was near perfect except a little cold. All the boys slept in snow caves and us leaders slept in a heated tent until everyone was sleeping so soundly that no one stoked the fire. I was still very warm because I followed my rule of two sleeping bags, stocking cap and a good foam pad. My scouts did very well. They place 3rd place overall in the patrol competitions. In the individual knot tying event they finished 1st, 2nd and two of them tied for 3rd. I also had one scout finish 7th and one finihs 10th. I am sure they are suspecting something since I ran the knot tying event. I can promise everyone that they each only had two chances. However, I let the other scouts have as many times as they wanted to try and beat my boys. Two did do better than my fifth place finish and he got bumped to 7th.
It was a very fun activity. I am tired and am ready for a nice warm bed.
Sleeping with snoring adults doesn't allow for good sound sleep. I don't see how Michele put up with it for so long with me. I am glad she did and I am also glad I did something about it so that I don't keep people up snoring.
I love all of you! How did Brant do this week?
