Lava Tube Cave Campout

We will be camping just north of Flagstaff near the Lava Tube Caves.  This will hopefully be a snow campout.  We have been discussing in troop meetings how to properly prepare.  For some additional tips please see this website:

Final details haven't been decided so stay tuned, but we are hoping to go on January 29th-30th.  We will need fathers to help drive. Please let Bro. Ray know if you can go.
