The troop camped at Camp Split Rock, located in Ashburnham, MA. This was our first time camping at this site, and what an adventure!. The troop had to brave “Arctic” conditions, over a long and treacherous path, to arrive at their meager accommodations. Upon arrival the scouts immediately launched into a game of tag/manhunt and explored the local tundra with only their wits and guts (and nearby adults) for survival. The accommodations (cabin) were nice (heated and fairly new) but a little tight. It was located next to a frozen pond – a nice view! In addition, it snowed our first night there, so the next day’s scenery was even better.
We had our normal assortment of grub: pop tarts, ramen, sausage and pancakes; in addition Mr. Rajack delighted us with what is probably the best Dutch oven cobbler ever made. This was followed by pizza provided by Mr. Hamilton.
