Our annual sojourn to the Ape Caves for the winter campout was another success. This time there was no snow and the weather wasn't quite as sunny (though it did not rain on us while we were camping), but we are happy to report that it only rained while we were in the Ape Caves, nobody was injured, and all the scouts completed the hike the entire hike.
This year many of the boys put up their tents without any adult help!

Dinner time!
Entering the cave.
A few brave boys dared to rest on the "meatball".
Mr. B made it to an upper chamber.
Beeb, always the lone girl, is the bravest amongst them all. She keeps asking to join Girl Scouts but I can't see why when she gets to do all the Boy Scout stuff with her dad. Besides, at this age she is doing way more adventurous with the boys than anything she'd be doing in Girl Scouts.
Beeb, per usual, was the first to attempt climbing up to the shelf.
It was a great trip - lots of fun for everyone. AH does a really great job with these scouts and making sure their adventures are challenging but very rewarding.
