Note: The pictures are fun, but if you want a feel for what it was REALLY like, watch the video clips :) (they are short!). So kick back and enjoy the experience of Troop 81 at Lake DeGray. . . .

We met at Walmart, then headed out.

C says this photo just doesn't do justice to how beautiful it really was
