Here we are ready to go to Aldous and Hancock Lakes :) Oh Ya! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip.
Hurry do you favorite super hero pose!
Oh frogs. The boys love frogs.
Scout dinner is good!
For an appetizer we have tin a'la foil dinner.
Followed by our specialty one of a kind world famous noodles. Yum Yum. Imported from our distributor Maruchan.
For those who are on an all protein diet consider our main course of special chile del mass taco bueno.
Our slow roasted chile is made fresh by our "pit masters" everyday.
Enjoy your evening meal with some of the best views Kilgore has to offer.
Food is complete safe in the state of the art bear box. Made right here in the good ol' USA.
Some of these frogs survived the trip by escaping thanks to the fish and game!
I cant say the same for this beautiful fish that brother ore caught. He was a beauty and tasty too.
I think this is one of those ferocious mammals that look like a squirrel. This must be a favorite pose of Alex!
The second day we took a trip up to Hancock lake. It was awesome.
The lake was furnished with its own lean-to and some mysterious tripods made by aliens or something.
Some of us enjoy a log after our grueling 1 mile hike to Hancock lake.
Smile and wave boys! Smile and wave!
Alex and Hunter made the polar bear swim across the lake! Way to go fellas!
We built a raft out of a few feet of string that I had in my backpack. It held together but didn't float very well. So much for electrical engineers designing rafts :(.
You can just see how cold it was by the look on their faces.
Alex swam out to save their "oar" several times. I think it may have been faster to just walk around the lake. In fact I am sure of it.
Here is a shot of the scouts singing and marching down the trail. They were quite a sight for the other hikers on the trail that saw this much of young men screaming... "You cant ride in my little red wagon!!!!"
We had a fantastic time and all the boys learned a lot. Thanks to all the parents who made it possible.
