Another fun weekend of camping for the Mighty Kiowa came to a close this morning at Doe Lake. Although the weather was threatening at times, it was nothing like the storm we experienced here in February; good thing too, since the Smith's camper was not available for us to take shelter in!
The Pinewood Derby was fun, even though none of the Kiowa won. The Hadley's car made it to the finals of the Turtle category, but was just a little too fast to win! The Kranston's car started out well, winning the first two heats, but fell victim to the EFPDTG Syndrome (Eola Federation Pinewood Derby Track Gremlin) once again when one of the front axle's somehow got stuck on a track guide (as Reed Hadley explained when interviewed by ESPN, "It looked like it was pulling a brick down the track"). I think I'll hire someone to torch that track and demand that they buy a new one! Anyway it was still a lot of fun - I've never seen anyone make a car out of 15 pencils, or a bar of soap - lot's of creativity!
We also welcomed a new member, Isabelle, and her father Ed, to our tribe, and look forward to having them as part of our group!
Thanks to our Hunters for doing a great job with the food, and thanks to everyone for helping out with cooking, cleanup, etc..
Our next meeting will be Monday December 1. I look forward to seeing you then!
Yatahey!!!
