Last weekend we
experienced a nice, sunny, 3-day weekend here at Inks Lake. WOW! I
don’t think we were quite prepared! The
parked was packed. I think every boy
scout troop in Texas was here.
We put out 2 cords of
wood. The Friends group made over $500
on wood! It’s a little pricy at $1 a
stick (sold in bundles of 5). But, if
you’re freezing, it’s worth it. They estimate that about 30% of the people do not pay for their wood.

We have been told that during spring break (in March), we will have two weeks of this same activity.
Are those all scouts camping? Why don't they pay for their wood? Just wondering?
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon - Those scouts were camping, but so were a bunch of other folks. That 30% number is an overall statistic from the folks who track honor sales of wood and it doesn't apply specifically to the Boy Scouts.
DeleteI commented earlier, but apparently it didn't go through. Spring break in Texa is something else. Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteThey say that it will be nuts around here. It will be toward the end of our stay, so even if it is terrible we'll only be here for a couple of more weeks!!
