Story

We took the 11-year-old Scouts from our ward (Troop 601) camping at Upper Box Creek Reservoir for our June camp out.

We left Friday around 3:30 from Richfield and arrived at Upper Box Creek around 5:00. 

We set up camp and after dinner we went out on the lake. Jason brought his pedal boat, Trace brought his raft, and I brought my kayak. We played on the lake then did some fishing from shore.

We talked around the campfire for a bit before heading to bed around 10:00.

Saturday morning, the Scouts woke up before 6:00. They got the fire going and were making S'mores when I rolled out of bed at 6:45.

We soon had them making french toast, bacon, and hashbrowns for breakfast. 

After breakfast, Jason fished from shore while the rest of us hopped in the pedal boat and took a hike in the forst on the south side of Upper Box Creek. We found a cool skeleton of a mid-sized animal. Then we found this even bigger skeleton of what we guess was a cow.

Then back to the boats. We paddled around the lake to the north end then I raced over to the west end and back. Then we all went back to the west end so the boys could explore Box Creek.

We headed home right after lunch. Domonic crashed on the ride home, and Dylan and Trace had fun with my camera.
