Camp Meriwether (The Weather Turns . . .)


We arose to blue sky and sunshine. And, it stuck around! So, we didn't even need raingear to accompany Frank on a tour of the camp. Since we arrived after dark, it was neat to see things beyond our beloved home, Viking.


One campsite we poked around in (which of course was unoccupied) was Bunyan . . . as in Paul Bunyan . . . although many Scouts might encounter bunions if they persist in ill-fitting footwear. In the distance is Cape Lookout. One summer my high adventure group went rock climbing (supervised of course) out at the tip. I believe we climbed up from that small ledge you can see off the end. It was really really cool, and kind of scary because the weathered rock was not exactly trustworthy (thankfully our ropes were).


Thomas and Hunter at Lake Chamberlain (named for early settlers . . . or perhaps that character in The Dark Crystal . . .) This begs a gelfling joke about my Scouts, but I'll pass. :-)


The super Frank tour also took us to the meadow, where we stood alongside a flagpole and the old anchor chain from the Struan. Even photoshopped, it's hard to see the beach very well in the background. Special thanks to the random Scouter with the BYU hat for taking our photo!
