Up around 2:00 AM to go to the bathroom. The moon was so bright that I did not need a flashlight. Up again at 5:30 AM. Took a very nice shower. Other scoutmasters went to Starbacks and brought back donuts. Given watermelon slices by a troop from Omaha, NE. Pancake breakfast with sausage and beverage for $4.50 at camp. Ate 3 very large pancakes which were very good. Drove to Garden of the Gods and walked around seeing the amazing rock formations. Climbed a few and got lots of great pictures. Drove around to see more. Stopped at Balancing Rock and wound up doing a lot more climbing and taking pictures. Drove back to camp to get warm clothes. Lunch at A&W/KFC – root beer float! Drove to Pikes Peak Cog Railway missing the turn on the way. Got to park in an RV spot. Rode Aspen car up Pikes Peak. Very steep in parts. Lots of good views on the way up. Took lots of pictures at the top. Called home on Dr. G’s cell phone from the top. Felt really tired on the way down. Drove to Old Colorado City and ate dinner at Thunder and Buttons. Had buffalo brat with elk chili. Back to camp. Boys went swimming. Got ready for tomorrow. Bed early.
