Angles Rest

We backpacked up to Angles Rest in the Columbia River Gorge.

Getting there: HWY84 to the Gorge, take exit 28B, Bridal Vail.

Chris, Ian, and I had a great time. Highlights of the trip:
- Ian's first real backpack trip
- Mr. Finchem's cookies, baked in a backpack oven (cardboard box)
- The weather was SOOOO nice

Ian tented with Harrison, they slept with their rain fly off and enjoyed the night sky. Ian's sleeping bag zipper broke, I was able to fix it but this will probably be the last campout with this bag.

Wildwood Trail Hike 5 miles for 2nd Class

Ian and I got up early and completed a 5 mile hike in Forest Park. We hiked the Cannon Trail, Wild Wood, Water Line Rd.

Camporee 2012 - Scouters Mtn.

Ian and I went up to Scouters Mtn (Clackamas area) for Camporee 2012. The theme was Scouts vs. Aliens. Ian's patrol, the T.N.T.s won a first place ribbon in the stations. The troop won 2nd place in the tug-o-war. Ian tented with Harry. The weather was rainy on Friday night but cleared up for the rest of the weekend. I took the boys for milkshakes on our drive home.

Ainsworth State Park

Last weekend we headed to Ainsworth State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. This was Ian's first scout camp out! The weather was OK, we got rained on a little and the tent sites were pretty muddy. It is best to arrive early as the tent sites are first come first serve. The sites cost around $15.
