Fire Mountain Fishing – Day 1

Wow, what a wonderful weekend of weather ahead of us!  After a short haul through Friday evening traffic, we finally made it to the Fire Mountain campsite outside of Mt. Vernon.

Although it was a short hike in, we found a sympathetic camp host which allowed our drivers to bring our gear closer to our camp.  Unfortunately for the boys and some of the Scoutmasters, we had to hike. The setting here is beautiful – warm winds, still waters and epic landscapes.

 

Luckily our campsite was named “War Eagle”, which made us feel even more manly as we set our for our grand fishing weekend.  Although there were several groups at the camp, we felt like we were all alone in the back end of the camp.  The boys grouped as patrols and started to set up camp.  After a short while, camp was set up and we gathered firewood for a grand campfire.


While some of the Venture Crew started working on the fire, we started a few rounds of midnight mafia. With such a large group, we had a large population of mafia in the crowd.  The first group was able to seek out and identify the mafia, however in the second round the citizens weren’t as lucky.  After that, we headed to our tents, hammocks and tarps and to get ready for a great day of fishing.  Stay tuned for updates from the dock!
