What an overnight we had on February 15 and 16, 2014. According to the weather people we were suppose to have temperatures in the 40’s which would have melted the snow causing "Mud Fest", but we are camping in Missouri and the temperature never got to the 40’s. But we did have "Fry Fest" Saturday evening. Our leader’s deep fried turkeys with mash potatoes, gravy, green beans and rolls for dinner for everyone. The scouts baked cakes in cardboard boxes for dessert. Later that evening, the leaders went back to deep frying several different items for everyone to taste. Everything was great. Our scouts also had a demo on survival shelters and lots of time to play in the snow.

On Sunday morning, everyone cooked their breakfast by cooking eggs and bacon in a paper sack or boiling eggs in a paper cup. They also cooked sausage in aluminum foil and baked biscuits on a stick. It was just a great time.

The weather was great and those who went have earned a white coup for their coup belts.
