CRAZY or Tough?? You decide . . .
(PS -- Sorry the pics are so tiny, they were taken with Jake's Blackberry!)
Jake and the other scout leaders decided to go ahead with the planned scout campout this last weekend. Despite the cold temperatures. Oh, and the 6+ inches of snow we got this week.
Jake and the other scout leaders decided to go ahead with the planned scout campout this last weekend. Despite the cold temperatures. Oh, and the 6+ inches of snow we got this week. They hiked in about 1/2 mile with all their gear.
The leaders got to sleep in the "lean-to" they found near the trail. They pitched their tent inside and put a tarp over the opening. It was still frigid, though, and Jake was grateful for his nice mummy bag (thanks Mom and Dad!) and multiple air-activated handwarmers inside his sleeping bag. 
The boys slept in their tents. Some of them didn't sleep at all. Temps overnight dipped to a nice, balmy 8 degrees. With a chilly breeze. We're just glad everyone made it back with all their fingers and toes!!

Is that determination or just insanity?! I don't envy your weekend, Jake, but hope you guys had fun!!

Way too cold for my liking. Glad they survived!
my opinion...crazy! But, I guess it prepares them for IF it ever happens! Thank goodness for mummy bags and heat warmers.
