Champoeg August 19-20, 2006

Troop 351 camped at Champoeg State Heritage Area. A group of seven biked from St Ignatius in Portland to camp, crossing the Canby Ferry on the way. Another group biked on the trails in the park.

Barrett, Robert and Bryce get ready for the 50 mile ride in the cool of the morning at St. Ignatius.

No let-up in conversation as night sets in

Where there's a huge firepit, scouts build a huge fire

Such a warm and dry evening, there's no need for tents
