Here's another thing covid messed up. We were actually out in the woods at a scout camp at a remote log cabin in the woods when news came down that everything was shutting down on march 16th. We were back in town March 15th. That's seems so long ago.
Fast forward 2 years. We've been meeting regularly since February and were recently allowed to plan our first overnight camping trip.
We set the ball in motion planning to camp june 3-5th at our main scouts property and camp. Then we discovered that covid dealt us another blow. Our camp has been run for years as basically an offgrid camp aside from hydro. No running water. No permanent bathrooms. All was fine until covid hit. Then as things began to re-open, scouts Canada was scared to make the call to re-open the camps and instead referred everyone to their local health unit. That opened a can of worms as they came in and put in a bunch of restrictions which must be met before it could be re-opened. In a nutshell, we're at risk of losing the camp now and couldn't even use the grounds to camp in tents. I decided that since we hadn't camped in 2 years, they could camp on the back 3 acres of my property. Our property backs onto a large piece of land owned by the fairgrounds. I approached them and secured permission for the scouts to use the property for various activities.
I spent the past week clearing out a suitable campsite for 7 tents, a firepit area, and a kitchen area. I even installed a temporary outhouse.
