Father-Sons' Campout

September 20, 2008: Father-Son's Campout at Champoeg Park
In a (failed) attempt to eradicate a swarm of bees from the hollow trunk of a fallen tree, Jackson, Jefferson, Jamie (Ellery), and Spencer (Price) used their "fire-starting" skills (i.e. a match) to "smoke 'em out"... It only took 5 professional firefighters (thanks, City of St. Paul!!), 2 park rangers, and a dozen "sons" to put the fire out 12 hours later. Sarah, who was in the park to run a half-marathon but didn't know that we were camping there, was amused to hear about the "careless Mormon kids" who had set fire to a tree!
Fine paid to Oregon State Parks: $97.
In-person demonstration of how "fire-suppressing spray foam" works to 30 little kids: Priceless!
