Scout Master Mark took his troop on an camp out to Anderson Cove by Pineview Reservoir. He intended to take them to Memorial Park near Causey Dam but got the run-around from the people renting campsites.
Mark left work around noon to reserve a campsite at Memorial Park. He went up early make sure that all the spots were not taken. When he got up there, they would only take cash or a check which he did not have with him. Mark proceeded to drive back down to a gas station near Pineview Reservoir to get cash out of the ATM. He then drove all the way back to Memorial Park and tried to pay for the spot. The people at the campground told him that he needed to leave something in the campsite (like a tent) to show that the site was taken. Since Mark went straight to the campground from work, all he had with him was a spare tire (FYI: this is not acceptable). When all was said and done, they camped at Anderson Cove.
Mark was stressed out------ the boys had a great time.
One of the boys turned 12 this week. He had planned a birthday party for the same day of the camp out. Since all of the boys he invited were in the troop, he moved his party to the camp out. His parents provided pizza and treats (they got off easy).

How frustrating for Mark. Anderson Cove looks nice though. What a good scout master
Mark -- SOMEDAY these boys will realize how much you did for them. Sorry you had such a rough time with the Memorial Park dude. Looks like the kids had a great time though.
