Troop and Crew 351 enjoyed fine clear weather for our Family Camp at the beach October 9 - 11, 2009. The weekend featured a visit to the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station at Astoria. We occupied three cabins and three large grassy sites on Lake O'Neil at Cape Disappointment State Park, and enjoyed excursions within the park.
