May 7-9, 2004, Whitewater Campout

Despite the weather, many of our scouts seemed to enjoy the campout. We did a numerous amount of various activities throughout the day, on little sleep. A raging storm approached us on Friday night and it continued to rain for many long hours during the night. On Saturday morning we went on a hike to see Chimney Rock. It was a long climb of the steep hill, but it was worthwhile. Chimney Rock had a couple of small tunnels that we enjoyed climbing through. After lunch we went to hear a talk about rattlesnakes from a park ranger. Due to the lack of sleep, many of us began to doze off during it. We went on a fossil hunt later that afternoon, which seemed be exciting among the scouts. Some of us found some really neat stuff. The night ended as a usual camping night would: around a campfire. The weekend was great and we went home satisfied.
