Brazos Bend State park

We camped April 5-7 2012, Brazos Bend State park, it was yummy, my favorite animal to see was some deer. And the Alligators were... alright. My favorite food there was the cornbread. I loved the hiking...and no one snored...except there was a faint noise coming from Balint's, and Brother Wheldon's tents. And pack light.

Camping Plan

HOMEWORK:
Every boy needs to present self and pack (or bag) for the campout.  Please bring your personal packing list (Camping MB 7a) so we can compare pack against the list. 

9b requires a 4 mile backpacking trip.  Boys that did not attend our Lonestar Trail Backpacking campout last fall can pass off this requirement.  Be sure to have access to a backpack.  Those boys will be carrying our water, food and cooking equipment for lunch during the hike.

All boys need to prepare a duty roster for camping MB 4a.
Here are the patrols for duty roster:
  Patrol A                          Patrol B
  Jacob D                           Balint M
  Nick T                              Jacob H
  Conner P                       Jacob M
  Erik A                              Ruggy H
  Spencer N                    Davis H
  Tony A                           Tucker E
