Bennett Springs Fishing Trip
March 8-10, 2002

Campfires provide warmth on a very cold night	It was no use trying to keep the burners going in the high winds	SHOW OFF!
Grow some hair or wear a hat kid!	George shows Mike how to put your hand on the burner to keep warm. The burn ointment was soon to follow.	Jamiel and George look no worse for wear considering their tent blew over in the night with them in it.
Coals are about ready	Now that's a meal. Steaks by Goertz and Yameen	Peach cobbler, apple cobbler and cherry cobbler thanks to Jeff Grace's culinary abilities and Fish's inability to read the directions on the box of cake mix.
Good thing we have these sturdy tents for the 70 mile per hour winds we faced	Brandon and Spence looking for the big one	What a first campout
	Singing "Hey mom I want to go, but they won't let me go, hey mom I want to go home!"

We camped in below freezing temperatures but had great fun. Mr. Adams and Yameen had their tent blown over with them in it by 70 mile per hour winds. Mr. Rush caught the most fish. Mr. Yameen caught his first trout and was having it mounted. Every first year scout who wore waders was swamped within minutes of entering the stream. Fortunately, there were none to fit Spencer. Steaks and cobbler were the food of the day (along with trout). 1st year scout forgot wood in a fire is "hot" and picked up a piece getting 2nd degree burns on three fingers.
