Buffalo Chips and Hot Pots

Well, since December I have been working with the 11-year-old Boy Scouts. It has been lots of fun and a learning experience. We have recently started going on campouts. Last month, we went to Antelope Island on the Great Salt Lake. It was quite windy (see the video), but we started a fire using buffalo dung and let me tell you, those boys thought that was something else. I'll bet we gathered all the dry buffalo poo within a quarter mile of our camp. This month we camped in Diamond Fork, down in Spanish Fork Canyon. The weather was much nicer and we hiked up to the hot springs. My favorite part is the camping and hiking and really getting to see the boys excited about camping and the outdoors.

Here is a couple of the boys and an old bull buffalo.


And here is the burning poo (don't put it out with your boots!)
