Just came back from a Boy Scout winter weekend in the Catskills.....app 250 people there which maybe 175 were boys.....no snow for sledding (kids bored).....and temps were -3 to -7F without the wind chill Sat night, probably was -20 with the wind....I helped chaperone 10 boys, which 3 were new to the winter campout.....I brought xtra fleece blankets and sleeping bags for the kids......they did have fun making and feeding the fire.....
I volunteered to lead a hike Sun morning at 10 around their lake...app 1 1/2 mile loop......nobody showed up, even the boys in my troop, so i followed the red markers and went for a walk......saw a cool tunnel made by a rodent and saw where it popped out to look for stuff....saw some bobcat prints...no rabbit or deer...surprised about that.....the scouts let loggers onto their property and it's a mess....but that's how the scouts get some $.....I later walked over to a waterfall and saw "Bernoulli effect ?)....the air was being sucked under the fast moving water and it was bubbling up a little further downstream out of a tiny 3 inch type volcano....amazing....now if i didn't go hiking because nobody else didn't go i would have missed some really cool nature scenes....I did take 3 younger boys to see the falls later that afternoon....only problem was chewing on a piece of taffy....my crown came out
just thought I'd give a report...oh yea, i met someone who i might hike with and i volunteered to lead another hike next year....last thing...i came in 2nd place in the adult cooking contest...."My 1st stew"...and i made a cheap pvc pulk...it was great until I came to the gravel...
"Edit....Venturi effect, not Bernoulli "...that's what i was told
