One of the focuses of the trip was Dutch Oven cooking. This photo shows 3 items cooking and 3 more had already been removed from the cooking area.
Two of the Patrols made Dutch Oven Pizza!
T.J. and Kelley practicing fire building.
On Saturday morning the hike lead to a bridge above a quiet pool. The Venture Team decided to swim.
Flag Retirement: Another purpose of the trip was to learn and perform a Flag Retirement for a worn U.S. Flag. The Ranger of this BLM property is a leader for a local Indian tribe. He asked if he could perform a special Indian blessing for the ceremony and the Troop.
The Ceremony was performed with only the light of a fire.
