Coldest Night of the Year

Klondike is supposed to be a challenge for camping overnight in winter. And last night turned out to be the coldest one we've had so far! (It was 22 degrees.) I was worried for Winger, Polar Bear, and Dorito, who slept on the ground with their Boy Scout Troop at Camp Geiger last night. They wore the right layers and took the right sleeping bags, but reported they were a little chilly. Captain said it was a good challenge and he was proud that they met it head one with enthusiasm. Mostly, they were enthused to try out their new camping gear which they found under the Christmas tree last month. I heard that Dorito's camp stove and grill pan made excellent steak kebabs. And they always love having Double Stuffed Oreos for a late-night snack (called a "cracker barrel.")
