Snow Camp on Mingus

JAN 10, 2009

In preparation for the Klondike in February, the Scouts hiked into the snow on Mingus Mountain to make camp. The snow was 2 feet deep in some places, and at night the temperature was a nice balmy 17 degrees! Every boy learned some first-hand lessons about what they need to bring in the future, and how to maintain comfort in a cold environment. Despite a few missing items, all the Scouts had a great time and stayed warm (enough!).
