Leaving the BSA 2013 National Jamboree

We got out of camp at 11:01 am. Since we were scheduled to leave at 11:00 am I think we did pretty good. Breaking down camp started yesterday. We washed and scrubbed all of the pots and pans and then packed them away. We then had our scouts begin packing there gear in their tents. The next morning the boys finished packing up their gear and breaking down their tents. We then had breakfast cereal bars and muffins. Afterwards, we broke down our dining tarps and picnic tables and waited for the bus. When the bus arrived we quickly loaded up the bus and headed out. 

During the first two hours just about everyone slept. We stopped at a truck stop that had a Popeye's and Taco Bell. We spent about an hour eating lunch and then we got back on the road. We stopped at Ryan's steak house for supper and then checked into the Econo Lodge. Most of our scouts have gone swimming in the pool while several just stayed in their rooms. 

 Oh yeah. We have a really good bus driver who all of us like. His name is Lamont. The boys call the bus Lamont's Limo. 

 On a personal note I am so sore from all the hiking. It is going yo be so nice to sleep in an air conditioned hotel room in a bed, but it will be even better to get home to family, my own home, and my own bed. I know everyone here misses someone.
