This year's Quinsigamond District Klondike Derby was a fun event.
Troop 54 had six Scouts and two leaders tent camping overnight beforehand. With the overnight low about 16 degrees F, it was not uncomfortably cold.
Keeping the water pourable was, however, a bit of a challenge. Our station turned out to be a Klondike sled obstacle course, in which the participants had to carry their sleds over large obstacles. They were
up to the challenge, with several different approaches.
There was just enough snow on the ground to allow sleds to get from one station to the next. |
