Work or Camp?

Both actually.  Jourdan and his dad went to Camp Pioneer near Mount Jefferson (75 miles east of Salem) two weekends ago.  The camp is on Pine Ridge Lake with a picturesque view of the mountain in the background.  It proved to be a challenge with our camera to get a photo of Jourdan, the lake, and the mountain in one shot, but the attempt was made.


Jourdan did a 15 mile bike ride when he arrived at camp on Friday night.

On Saturday, Jourdan and Jonathan spent the day with pick axes reclaiming forest land. 

 It was a lot of work, but it counted as a campout (toward the 20 required for the camping merit badge - which is required for Eagle Scout).  The campouts are hard to get in a short period of time, so any one that they can attend is precious.  When Jourdan finishes his Eagle (and all the requirements involved) it will be well earned!  They had a campout this weekend as well, and another scheduled for the next weekend....I'll post those pictures later.
