Notes: |
Another excuse to have our famous Trash Can Turkey! |
 |
Here are five of our finer and braver scouts, next
to a historic T14 sign.
The newly reorganized shed made it EASY to find
what we needed and pack it away for the trip.
Too bad we didn't remember to bring the trash can.
It would have saved us another trip to the store. |
Thanks go out to Mr. McDonald for helping to drive the boys up
to Long Lake. We even managed to sneak a couple of extras
along for the drive. |

 |
You'll notice that we didn't need snowshoes or cross
country skis for the mile(+) hike in from the parking spot.
Although it was mid February, the snow was no more than a couple
inches deep for most of the way. A big difference from our
other trips last year

Here are shots of before, during, and after the cooking of the
turkey, per the
Troop 14 Trash
Can Turkey method. Since we had plenty of good wood to work
with, we only used two bags of charcoal. NOTE: For anybody else
trying this, it's important to start the charcoal early in the process.
After the (fantastic) dinner, we even used the leftover carcass to
make a couple gallons of turkey noodle soup, which was a nice treat at
the end of the day before bed. |
