On March 21, 2003, the Troop headed to Vallecito, CA for camping, hiking, rappelling & spelunking at Moaning Caverns. The photos below were taken on Saturday, March 22nd. We woke up Sunday morning with it raining. Have you every used a garbage bag for a rain coat?
 Saturday morning and it's time to get started.
|  For some, it is a bit too early...
|
 The first trail we try comes to an abrupt dead-end. Anyone want to dive into this canyon?
|  After 2 false starts, we find a good hiking trail. These scouts wanted to investigate some of the nearby rocks.
|
 During a 10 mile hike, some Scouts get ahead. We use radios to keep in touch. (Watch your step, it's a long way down.)
|  After hiking 5 miles, it's time for a little rest and some lunch.
|
 The rappelling Scouts have to get into gear and listen to a safety talk. (Why does this take so long? I just want to jump in.)
|  Last one in is a rotten egg! (Way too dark to take pictures inside the cave.)
|
 Everyone made it out of the cave. Time to cook dinner. Yo! Watch out for the hamburger grease... Are you making "Blackened Burgers"?
|  What camping trip would be complete without a campfire? It's even good when you get a little smoke in your eyes.
