Drew was pretty excited to attend his first scout campout. He even skipped a soccer game to attend, so that should tell you something.
We drove out to Lone Rock out west of Grantsville. I’ve never been to that site before, but it was a pretty good spot in the early spring.
The drive out was pretty rough with all the rush-hour traffic. Plus, the weather was not looking good. Very cold and rainy. But luckily Drew and I were prepared for the inclement weather.
We got to our site and set up our tent and then turned our attention to dinner.
It was cold and a little wet, but most of the storm had passed by, so we didn’t have any wind. It ended up being a nice night despite the cold.
In the morning, we got up decided to hike up to the top. Lone Rock is a popular place for climbing but there were plenty of routes up that didn’t require any ropes or gear.
On the top there were some pretty impressive views.
Drew was pretty excited about finding a few geocaches in the area, but unfortunately, the information sheets were left at home so we didn’t get a chance to look them up.
Really the only drawback was the litter and shells and casings that got left behind by target shooters. The scouts did a pretty good job of leaving no trace, and even cleaned up several hundred extra pieces of garbage from around our campsite. Definitely left it better than we found it.
