Sunday

We arrived into camp around 2pm on Sunday. Cavalcade peeled off from the base camp group and set-up for an over night stay in Buffalo Hall - the camp rec hall. After dinner, we all grabbed our gallon ziploc bags and bedrolls and headed to the stables.  

There were twenty total people on the cavalcade this week, so they divided into two groups of ten:  Cavalcade A and Cavalcade B.  Since Troop 61 already had nine members, we only had room for one more.  We met Garrett, the tenth member in our cavalcade (from a troop in Houston). He was a huge help to our crew, and we really enjoyed getting to know him.

The wranglers answered questions about our upcoming trip and looked over our gear.  It turns out, we could bring a lot more than we thought we could in the saddle bags.  I was able to pack in my travel pillow - which made the trip a whole lot more comfortable :o)  Many of the boys had extra room in their bags.

We then headed back up to Buffalo Hall, set-up our sleeping bags on the mattresses provided and settled in for a 5:30am wake-up. Cavalcade B (our group) had drawn the short stick and had to do the morning feeding (Cavalcade A fed Sunday evening)
