KI was unable to join Sam on the Boy Scout Campout this year, but I don't think he missed us much. That guy is full scout. He worked on 6 merit badges at Camp Comer this year...Electricity, Basket Weaving, Wood Carving, Fishing, Pulp and Paper, and something else I don't remember. He brought home some really cool projects, and many stories about how fun Camp Comer was.
On the way up, Sam was riding with the guys carrying the Scout trailer. Apparently it was too heavy, and a tire went out on the interstate. So after putting the spare on, they traveled 5 minutes further down the road when the other tire blew, and sent the trailer fender flying off and over the two scout vehicles behind the trailer. So the scouts had to lighten the trailer and move stuff into other vehicles, while they found the only spare tires 80 miles away. Finally they made it to Comer about 3 hours late, but just in time for supper.
Sam told me the other main story was on Friday, they had a break from merit badge classes so he and Corrin went on a 10 MILE HIKE! ... IN THE RAIN ... To see a waterfall. They had one poncho, and some trail mix for both of them. Anyway, they made it, just made it back late to camp and missed lunch. But sounded like quite an adventure, and probably something he will remember for a long time.
