Deep Freeze 2007
Published by Barry Griffiths February 20th, 2007 in News, Campouts, BlogAn intrepid crew had great weather, including plenty of snow, for the Deep Freeze campout in Albion, Maine. Why is snow a good thing? So you can build snow caves, which are much warmer than tents in winter. Of course, anything worth doing is worth overdoing … more photos in the Gallery.
UPDATE: Besides being snowy, it was also cold! In our quest to be the Highest Tech Troop on the Web, Scoutmaster Hank Manz had Mr. Beaulieu take along an iButton Temperature Logger to document this campout’s contribution to the Degrees of Frost award. The results: About 53 degrees of frost on this campout. Everyone who went is more than halfway to the first bead!
UPDATE 2/25: Lots more photos from Mr. Beaulieu starting on p. 3 of the Gallery. If anybody would like to improve the captions, let Mr. Griffiths know.
