2/17/09 meeting

 

Mr. Zahn provided some useful info on ice fishing in prep for the Minsi campout.  Ice was reported to be 12” thick on the lake, so forecast is good for fishing and skating.  If you’re going to work on the skating merit badge and have skates, please bring them.  Working out details for rentals and site for snow tubing..

Bring snow pants, changes of clothes and gloves, milk crate to sit on while fishing, maybe a sled for gear.
