Campout 2011





Well the campout is over for another year. Everyone is home and the gear is put away (almost). Thanks to everyone who came, we had the biggest turnout we have had yet, as well as having the most Battalion guys ever which was awesome. Great to see some new faces and get to know some people a bit better. In the past we have had to go up Thursday night to set up some tents to get the spots we want before they fill up. This year Paul and Ryan and I decided we would just go and stay Thursday night as well. Most of the rest of the crew showed up at various times Friday afternoon and evening. Saturday there was alot of dirt biking and fishing going on, although nobody was having great luck with the fishing. Ranger Ron showed up with dirt bikes instead of his fishing boat this year, he said they needed to change it up. Sunday everyone slowly packed up and headed home, Some more slowly than others. Doug and Nathan and Nolan went out for one last fishing spree and Nolan caught 5 in a couple hours. Not sure how he did it but we figured we better give out the prize for that.

Every year a couple guys say we should do this trip twice a year instead of once so we are thinking about that maybe in the fall having a similar trip. Stay tuned about that. Have a great summer!!
