Believe it or not here we are coming up onto the first weekend in December.
The
Chamber of Commerce has asked that we participate in the annual winter
parade... they are nice folks and I hate to disappoint them. There is a
story here that I will share at a later date... there is a big reason why the Chamber is important to our Troop.

So here is the plan...
Saturday
we will meet behind Laconia Savings bank at 3:30pm. We'll participate
in the parade, sing a few carols, have hot chocolate and cookies...
most importantly John will get to see Santa and give him his wish list
for Christmas.

After
the tree lighting we will all go to Blackberry Crossing, off the Kanc.
This site is 6 miles west of the Conway end of the Kanc. The entrance
will be on the left.

We'll set up the camp sites in the dark (yes, this is why we practice this stuff). After setting up
camp we'll cook dinner. This is a fairly accessible site so if you really want to cook something special (i.e. dutch oven)
then now is the time... I'll be boiling water and having one of my
scrumptious 'freezer bag' meals (I believe turkey, mashed potatoes and
cranberries are on the menu).

Sunday morning we'll get up,
have breakfast and tackle the Boulder Loop Trail. We'll be back at the
campsite by noon and we'll be ready for pick-up.

It is anticipated that we'll have temps in the 20's... this is winter condition camping... be prepared!
THERE WILL BE A SHAKEDOWN DURING THIS THURSDAYS MEETING... BRING ALL OF YOUR GEAR!
You
and your tentmate will be cooking together so please be prepared to
have an idea of what you'll be eating before the meeting so that the
meal can be approved.

Look
at your gear lists and make sure you are packed and dressed
appropriatly... winter camping/ hiking is not something to take lightly
in the White Mountains. If you are prepared you WILL HAVE FUN!

This should be an easy one to pack and plan for... you are probably still packed from the scrubbed Sawyer Pond trip.
I'll look forward to seeing you all Thursday night.
