Remote Say-O-Mic Falls

2011-06-18T17:39:00.003-05:00

If you've never been to Bartle you are in for treat. This is a photo of Say-O-Mic Falls. It is, although very remote and difficult to locate, the most beautiful waterfall at Camp Bartle. It is located in a unique micro-climate which formed as a result of the flooding of Truman Lake and a subtle shift in titonic plates during one of the last ice-ages. In this "petite paradise," the temperature never rises above 75 degrees or falls below 68 degrees and the humidity is always a comfortable 55%. Many first-year campers search for this idyllic climate during their visit. Good Luck!!

Scouts happy to be home?

2009-07-15T11:52:00.000-05:00

We're not quite sure what this scout was doing; kissing the ground because he was happy to be home or finding an opportunity to take a nap before the trailer arrives...

Blacksmithing and black powder shooting

2009-07-11T15:11:00.001-05:00

Several Scouts went to the Mountain Man outpost Wednesday evening.
They made neckerchief slides and shot 50-caliber black powder rifles.
Taco pie and pineapple cobbler cooked in Dutch ovens was served for
dinner.

The weather missed us...

2009-07-11T05:08:00.001-05:00

After a very hasty wake up call due to a very powerful storm cell coming our way, the storm broke up and went around us.

We've now been cleared to go back to our tents. In an hour most of the adults will be up again. We're letting the boys sleep until 7...

Good night.

Flag Burning Ceremony Part 3

2009-07-10T23:33:00.001-05:00

Several older Scouts and one leader also participated in the
flag-burning ceremony.

Flag Burning Ceremony Part 2

2009-07-10T23:27:00.001-05:00

Each first-year Scout had the privilege of placing a stripe from the
flag into the fire.

Flag Burning Ceremony

2009-07-10T23:13:00.001-05:00

Tuesday evening a worn-out American flag was retired in a flag-burning
ceremony. It was an incredible experience.

Several people spoke about what the flag means to them. Then the field
of stars was cut out and each stripe as well. Each first-year Scout
put part of the flag in the fire.

Tuesday evening

2009-07-10T22:58:00.001-05:00

The Scouts had a campfire at our site Tuesday evening. The splashing
water was part of one of the skits presented by Scouts working on
their Communication Merit Badge.

Day One at Bartle

2009-07-10T22:29:00.001-05:00

I'm back at home after four days and some 700 photos at Bartle --
hardly a surprise to those who know me -- but don't worry, I won't
post them all.

Some things I didn't photograph: a nocturnal visit by a raccoon, 257
daddy long legs spiders in my tent, and a peeping toad in the latrine.

After what first looked like a Chinese fire drill, the Scouts figured
out a bucket brigade was the most effective way to unload the trailer
at Bartle.

Thanks Diana!

Thanks for the treats!
