Joseph got to go on his first Campout with the Boy Scouts. He won’t be a real Boy Scout for another year in April, but since his dad a leader, he got to go.
We went to some hot springs below the Hoover dam near Las Vegas. We got there at dusk on Friday night and hiked down the canyon with our packs by the light of the half moon. The boys were real troopers and used team work to get there packs down some pretty steep canyons. We camped near one of the many hot springs in the canyon.
The next morning we hiked further down the canyon and made it to the river below the dam. We had a great view of the new bridge that was put in over the canyon. It was awesome. Some of the boys jumped in the super cold river water.
The hike out required a lot of team work and a lot of will power to keep on going up the trail. The idea of getting ice cream when we got back was a good motivator for the scouts.
