"Where do I go/" Because of the eight fires in New Mexico
this year, the day camp and Webelo Twilight camp
for scouts had to be moved,
and Founder's Camp was the chosen site.
Founder's Camp is a shooting range where
people go to compete. It is called "Far West."
It is set up to look like a scene from the old west,
with the exception of our ford 150 truck and
the other two items at the left.
About 1/4 mile to the east is the old west
Spanish style chapel.
Bion and Jack are standing in the entry.
This is the inside of the Scout Day Camp
where the scouts did a lot of their projects.
At camp, the scouts did archery,
B-B guns, and Broom Hockey.

Jack and Bion up in the morning.
When he went to pick them up, he dropped
Orion off for the evening.
The Day Camp was from 8:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M.
Webelo Twilight Camp was from
4:00 to 9:00 P.M.
It was a very long day for Orion because
he is also in summer school from 8:10 A.M.
until 12:30 P.M.
Orion was able to get a ride home
from the Santini's, who are neighbors as well
as scout den leaders.
That helped some of Pa's driving time.
It is a 35 minute drive
outside of Albuquerque.
This is the stage where skits, announcements,
and directions for the boys are done.
No air conditioning, and the temperatures were 99*
each day, so there was plenty of water for the boys
to refill their cups. They were supposed to bring
their own sack lunch and beverage each day.
Bion is refilling his water bottle.

Amy is our ward's Pack Leader,
and she is also the Camp Director.
She is wonderful with the boys and
they love her so, so much.
