This weekend our troop went on a camp out about two hours north of Anchorage for an overnight trip. During the camp out, a couple of us made camp down at the bottom of hill in a clearing and started a fire. We used that fire to cook lunch on and kept going all day. Then a second fire was started at the top of the hill where most of us hung out for the rest of the evening. It started to rain right before bed time, so we all headed to our tents before we got too wet. The next day we woke up to a couple of inches of snow on our tents. One of the awnings had collapsed under the snow load. We soon had breakfast of spam and eggs, and quickly packed up all of our wet gear so we could get on the road.
