Arrived Friday night and were greeted by Ranger Tony at SFSR. Decided to camp an OKAY campsite. Later another troop set up camp across the road from us, turns out to be troop 17 from Moore, OK. Go 100 miles onto a 1500 acre camp ground , just to have a chance to camp with you neighbor. We meet the Adult leaders and several of the scouts came over for Sat campfire. They shared some of there baked Yucca root with us. Saturday we went to the tower and found ranger Tony with all the equipment to help us get started in our quest. Everyone is now over that first step backing off a platform into nothing. Special thanks to Bill for helping with the safety and in helping to talk everyone into jumping. In the afternoon after lunch it got hot so we went down to the lake to cool off, Canoeing, swimming, hiking, fishing, and hiking around the lake were done. About 3pm we went back to the tower and repelled until dark. Upon arriving back at camp we enjoyed the Best Beef stew I can remember. After dinner we then had a treat I hope to enjoy a lot more in the future it was Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler and it is one of those things I\'92ve never had before but now one that I don\'92t think I can get by without some more. Special thanks to Roger and Paulette for being Grubmaster/Cooks on this camp out. Ranger Tony was very friendly and helpful and I wish to thank him from all of us. He and his staff really made us feel welcome. Had several skunks visit us Saturday night, kinda tame they didn\'92t scare off easy. Great weather warm days cool nights. Saturday nights Stew was so good we had it for breakfast along with fresh baked biscuits. }
