On one pustular campout we had invited some second year Webelos to join us. This campout was at a small lake about 90 minutes from our city. I remember we had a big court of honor at the end of this campout so maybe it was also when we invested the Webelos into the Troop. Anyway it doesn't really matter....It was growing later in the day, the sun was setting, it was getting dark and... [More]

A while back a friend and I went to a canyon about an hour out of town near the Colorado river below the hover dam. Eldorado canyon was the location of a big mine, now it is a good place to get to the river, and the home of a very very very small town. This post is just some pictures from this trip.(you can right click on the photo and select view image for... [More]

This is another tale from my trip as a Scout to Philmont. For two or maybe it was three days we had two pack mule that joined us on our trail journey. A fair amount of that time I held on the rope of one of the muels. One of the things that amazed me the most is how that mule would wait till we got to a stream, and it was every stream to... [More]

I found what follows on this website http://www.divinecaroline.com/22355/49745-landfill--trash-really-last-Glass Bottle—One Million Years Okay, we don’t really know whether a glass bottle takes a million years, two million years, or a million years and one day to degrade since no one has been monitoring them for that long. But suffice it to say, when a glass bottle isn’t recycled, it sticks around for a really, really long time. Glass is primarily of composed of silica—the same material... [More]
By: Scott Robertson On: 2010-04-11Hmmm... Hiking Rattle Snake
This story actually occurred to me as a Scout... No I was not bitten by a snake but I came close twice. As a teenager hiking I tended to just hike, pay attention to the scenery, chat with the other Scouts, etc but did not really keep an eye on the trail itself. The first time I was walking down the trail at the bottom of the Grand Canyon when one of the leaders behind... [More]

I come to the edge of a beautiful valley. To the left I see a small village. Looking out of the windows, I see people waving there hands beckoning me to come visit them and hear what they have to say. Turning my head to the right I see a few house here and there and a few more people beckoning me to come for a visit. On the other side of the town is... [More]

By: Scott Robertson On: 2010-04-11Real Good Turns
To often in life we forget about helping others. Doing a good turn daily is a important aspect of life that I do believe I practice enough and I am sure many of you don't do as often as you should. But what is a good turn? Is it helping an old lady across the street? Feeding a homeless person? Helping a injured animal? Assisting some one in need? Taking the newspaper to the door... [More]
