Small turnout, only 3 boys. Heat wasn't too bad as the sun set. It was dryer than normal. Fished a bit.

Decided to sleep under the stars to take advantage of a slight breeze. It was forecast to be 86 degrees at 11pm. Problem was I was getting buzzed by skeeters.

So I set up my tent, no fly. I laid in my tent, down to my underwear, sweating. There was a breeze, but I couldn't feel it. The walls of my tent would move, but nothing. So I got back up and put the batteries in my portable fan. Turned it on, and finally fell asleep.

I had a small sense of nostalgia as I camped. It might very well be my last campout with the troop. In just over 2 years, I have camped about 46 nights with the troop. You don't do something that often, and just go cold turkey.

I will miss the camping. But not the July and August camping.
