Angel Island Campout

Nearly a dozen Scouts braved a windy ride on the SF Bay Angel Island Ferry for a campout on Angel Island on a cool and windy night on June. The group walked 1-1/2 miles to the campsite, one of them lugging a heavy cast iron pot to complete a requirement for her Cooking merit badge. When the gang set up camp, it was so windy that one camper’s tent stake out points snapped. After that, they hiked up Mt. Livermore. When they got back, they made a dinner of fresh ramen, mac and cheese in a cast iron skillet, and a smorgasbord of dehydrated meals. Then they made a fire with coals, had some skits and retired for bed. In the morning, they packed up while making instant oatmeal and foil packet breakfasts. They then hiked to Pearl Beach before leaving on the ferry back to SF.
