We set out from camp at 8:30 Eastern time. Our plan is to push through, make only a brief stop for gas, and attempt to arrive back by 11:30 or 12 Central. We will send out a group text message when we’re a half hour away.

Most of the guys are finishing up the last of merit badge requirements with the remaining time today. Below, Hill, Mac, and Henry are testing out for the shotgun merit badge.
