BSA Troop 126
                                         Treasure Valley Probus Building
                                         January 24-25, 1998

                                                   Troop 126 spent the weekend at Treasure Valley Scout Reservation
                                                   in Paxton, MA. We arrived shortly after noon. The hardy campers set
                                                   up their tents while the rest of the scouts (and a few dads) set up inside
                                                   the building. Afternoon and evening activities consisted of hiking, building a
                                                   camp fire (it was one of the best we have had!), eating, having snow ball fights,
                                                   and generally enjoying the weekend time.
                                                    
                                                   Weather

                                                   Saturday afternoon was mild, calm, about 35⁰ and quite soggy.
                                                   The lake was covered with about  6" of water on top of about 6-8" of ice.
                                                   Saturday evening was overcast, the wind picked up, and the temperature
                                                   dropped to about 20⁰. Snow arrived overnight and by morning there was an
                                                   additional 2-4" of snow (actually, ice crystals) covering everything.
