Troop 281 Cincinnati, OH

It hit fast and furious - the Great Snowstorm of '08. We got about 10" of the White Death in a 24 hour period starting last Friday afternoon. School was let out early, everything got cancelled for the weekend (luckily our campout isn't till next weekend!), and we hunckered down. O well, I tried to make it sound really harsh. Today (Monday) it's the Big Melt, with temps in the 40's. We'll get to the 60's by Wed, and the White Death will be nothing but a legend that'll grow with time.

Hello, and thanks for visiting the new blog. We'll be posting stuff as often as we can, and hopefully we'll hear back from you int he Comments section.

Over the weekend, scouts attended their annual ski trip at Mad River Mountain. They stayed at a farm near the mountain and they enjoyed visiting the farm animals and eating delicious meals of pancakes, spaghetti, and biscuits and gravy. Of course the scouts expected to have a good night’s sleep the first night, but some would have to wait until Saturday night for that because energy drinks dragged some scouts’ nights into the early morning. On the mountain, the scouts snowboarded, skied, and even went tubing. Mad River has a plethora of slope difficulties from green circles to double black diamonds and terrain parks, so everyone can be at home. Nick B. even brought a video camera to record himself snow boarding. Jack Van Keuren, Historian
