I have been involved in the Boy Scout program for quite some time and now that I am a leader in the troop that I grew up in, I thought I would share some photos of the experiences.  Some of these photos are old and some are from last year...just a little of everything.  If anyone has some good photos to put up, let me know.  This will also be the space dedicated to the Milk Challenge!  (P.S. the $200 bet still stands!)

Blue Lake - circa 1984

This is one of the best campouts we had at Blue Lake.  Left to right:  Buck Hedges(?), Matt Blattman, Joe Blattman, Mike Anderson, Todd Smith, Randy Billows, Raymond Bush, Mark Hill, and Joel Randall

Blue Lake - 1997

This is the year that I helped bring up the scouts from a Reno troop.  In the foreground is Hugh Draper and the background is scoutmaster, Scott Talbot

Blue Lake - 1997

Same Reno troop, enjoying some of the warm water of the lake.  Notice most of them staying near the rocks, in the shallows.  Ask John Benson, Kevin Hemmert or Tyle Nimmer why sometime.

Blue Lake - 1997

As my brother Dan said, "Let's see less pictures of that fat guy fishing".  Well, I had to at least put the photo on the website.

Milk Challenge - 1995

The first year that I instituted the milk challenge was at Camp Fleischman.  John Benson was the only taker that year and his poor 13 year old body just didn't last long.

Milk Challenge - 1997

Another poor sap, Ryan Berezay, experiencing the inevitable end to any good milk challenge.  Man, this made me laugh for days!
