Lockett Meadow Family Campout
September 2004
Our campsite at Lockett Meadow in the San Francisco Peaks just outside of Flagstaff -
so beautiful and peaceful...
oh, wait, the Scouts aren't here yet!
|
 | Doreen whips up some vegetable omelets for breakfast and then we prepare for the day's activities. |  |
This is Lyle's first campout with our troop - he gets some help learning how to set up a tent from Jeffrey.
 |  |
 | Ian helps his parents set up the Casper family tent.
 |
Doreen and Debi get a flag ready for our flag retirement ceremony in the evening and Bob is already thinking about food. Is it lunch time yet?
 |  |
After the lunch the Scouts prepare for a hike into the Inner Basin and to work on the Nature merit badge. |  |
 | Doreen and Mark help the Scouts learn to identify plants along the trail. Can you really identify poison ivy by the taste, Spencer?
  |
How much longer? I thought you said this trail was flat!
|
 | Well, maybe it goes uphill a little bit.
But it's all downhill coming back!
 |
 | Back at camp!
 |
 | Spencer teaches Lyle a traditional Boy Scout favorite activity - fire building! Ian supervises from his camp chair.

  |
Mark, John, and Greg start working on dinner
 |
 |
Bob: "Has anyone seen my recipe for barbecued cracker jacks?"
Deb: "I think I'll go eat dinner with Mark, John and Greg."
 |
 |
Lyle: "Me too!" |
