We're going camping this weekend! I'm taking the troop on a Wilderness Survival merit badge camping trip where they make their own shelters out of sticks and twigs and dead leaves. They build them Saturday during the day and then spend the night in them.
And guess what? Tropical storm Bill remnants are hitting us just as it's time to climb in to those "shelters." We have a 96% chance of rain that night with an expected 1.5 inches total. It will be like aiming a garden hose at the shelters for 10 hours. LOL. This is gonna be something those boys remember for a long time. At least with temps only getting down to 74, hypothermia is not likely. And they will have space blankets.
Worst case scenario, the cars are parked a half mile away and it's only a fifteen minute drive home.
We've got 8 adults signed up to take 4 team shifts of 2 hours each to check the boys during the night. It'll be fine, right?
