One Week In Camp Daniel Boone NC

The Boy Scouts went on a week long camping trip to Camp Daniel Boone NC.  They just returned Sunday very early in the morning.  The Chief and The Cisco Kid were totally exhausted.  The chief was in leadership classes for most of the day every day and the Cisco Kid worked on his merit badges.  He took Canoeing, Leatherwork, Wood Carving and Inventing.  He started his day at 9:00am through 3:50 breaking for a one hour lunch.   Any free time they had, the camp filled that time up with Bon Fires & Flag raising and Flag retirements.

They got on the road at Midnight Saturday and they stopped for a McDonald's breakfast at 7:00 am. 

They arrived at Camp Daniel Boone NC at 9:30 am. 
 
The Cisco Kid made their Patrol flag.  They are the Phoenix Patrol
 Getting his invention check off.  He had two inventions.  the first one was a fishing pole that automatically launched the line using a pad key to measure the distance of the launch.  The Counselor said that it was to complicated to make and he had to come up with another invention.  The second invention was a Pocket Knife with all the different  utility blades in similar size that  can be added to the handle as needed.  He said with the normal utility knifes it was very inconvenient that all the knives that have to fold up in the knife get smaller and smaller so they can all fit.  But with his invention, all the knifes are all the same size.  He said part of the merit badge requirement was to use your invention in a commercial.    
They just got done hiking three miles up a four thousand foot mountain.
