Title: Tree Planting & Muzzle Loading
Post by: Ohio Joe on October 06, 2016, 08:56:36 AM
This Saturday I'm taking my grandson over to Chadron State Park for a three hour tree planting outing with his Boy Scout "Wolf" Den 204... This will also give me a chance to talk with his troop leader about getting the boys out to shoot a traditional muzzle loader as he (their leader) had mentioned earlier in the year and haven't done as yet. Hopefully we can still set something up this year before the weather turns to bad. Have to plant those seeds early! :lt th

Riley, if memory serves, you were pretty big into helping mentor the Scout Troops, were you not?

Grandson Lucas and I took to the high ground this morning to plant trees with the cub scouts.  We had a good time. Always nice to get outdoors. It was a bit chilly but it didn't take long to warm up.

The one thing I've always tried to make a point of doing in my life, (and as we all know it isn't always that easy or possible), is to be there for my kids and grand kids when they need me, and even when they don't and we just hang out.

Yesterday we planted trees, and today we hung out fishing, hiking, shooting the BB Gun, and throwing the tomahawk.
