We have just returned from the West Point Camporee. Here is a link to some pictures with others sure to arrive as other participants send them to me. I wish I had gotten more pictures of the troop gateways, some of which went well beyond elaborate and bordered on the bizarre.
One of the things that struck me as we set up and struck our campsite was how light we travel. All troop gear fit in Mrs. Griffiths Sequoia with room to spare. OK–I will admit that when the vehicle was parked in my driveway, the neighbors thought we had added a room, but there are troops out there that pack so much stuff that they have to make ten or more trips to get it all to the campsite. We can do it with one trip for troop gear and one for personal gear.
We also know how to cook and clean up efficiently. We keep a clean campsite. And we are quiet at night.
