Great day at the preserve. Jim and Faye Lacefield have an amazing corner of Alabama near Muscle Shoals and we are so happy they share! 700 acres of the Cane Creek, Waterfall Creek, and other small feeder tributaries create an amazing canyon. Rock shelters house some of the oldest carbon-dated campfires in Alabama. What an amazing place!

And, Troop 79 looks great. With funds from the garage sale, we have outfitted our three patrols. New stoves, tents, and gear and the patrols are off and running. And doing a great job. They’ve set up patrol areas and are cooking menus they planned. (Actually some pretty adventurous meals!)

Great 1st day in the woods!
