News Flash!

Ken called to tell me about the day the guys had yesterday. Apparently the stopping point was at Harlan Camp, where they did Shotgun loading and reloading, which involved putting their own powder into shells, loading the gun and then shooting the clay pigeon. And the second event was burro racing, in which one of the scouts would pull the lead rope on the burro and the rest of the crew would run behind the burro, chasing it along a planned out course. He sounded like it was really great. 6 burros, 12 crews! Ken only got one video of the shooting but he thinks that Z got some great pics of the burro race. He says their spirits are high and getting along pretty well. Griffin, he reports, did a great job in giving the crew the overview for the next day and made his Dad proud!
