Chad spent the last week camping in Big Sur with the Varsity / Venture scouts from our ward. He had eight boys that went and one other leader. They spent the week (Monday - Friday) at the Kirk Creek Campground and generally had a grand ol' time. They hiked around and played at the beach, saw elephant seals and lot of sea critters, and tried to not freeze (apparently the temperature never rose above 60 degrees the entire time they were there). There were a few minor issues (or shall we call them 'adventures'?): There were 800+ fires burning within a 100 mile radius and so they were constantly showered with ash and had to change plans several times due to road closures; They had a racoon that infiltrated camp and took off with some of their food; There were some crazy nudists in camp and another lady on a hike that stripped down and jumped into the creek within feet of where they were; and they had a tad bit of car trouble (a clogged fuel filter) 50 miles from civilization. BUT.. they all made it back alive with lots of stories to tell and that's all that matters..
Here are some pics..
