Klondike Derby

On Friday, February 5th, we went to the Klondike. We met at the Victor Church at 2:30, and then headed up Piney Pass. we got there at about 3:00, and then set up camp. After that we made a Huge snow fort, with four entrances. It was about ten yards long,but more of a tunnel, not a cave. for dinner we had chili dogs and chips. In the Tenderfoot scouts' tent, we got a big barrel stove. It was hot in there! In the morning we had breakfast burritos with eggs, sausage, cheese, and salsa. at 9:00, the activities started. First we had the first aid thing, then we had compass orientation, then we had... THE KLONDIKE!!!!! We beat the record by a minute and thirty-six seconds! Then we did the fire starting contestand got second place in that. Overall, we got first place. Our prize was an axe that we named Karen.       
                                    
Here we are, at the First Aid department.
                                    
Ready, Get set, GO!
                                    
"You just beat the record by two and a half minutes!"
                                    
"I'm just resting for a minute!"
