Klondike Derby 2009 was held on February 13th and 14th. The leaders and boys had a great time and actually stayed pretty warm (the leaders slept in their trucks :). David Ivins brought up cedar posts and straw to build the snow structure. Once the boys had the posts braced on one another they laid tarps across the top and packed snow on top of the tarps. They laid straw on the snow inside the shelter and "slept like babies" as was reported. Devin Lyman made the comment that he wanted to move in the shelter and live there. On Saturday they had snow shoe and sled races and everyone lived, although one of the scouts worked so hard he got sick for a bit. Bishop Lyman and Brother Bethea went up Saturday morning to cook breakfast and work (play) with the boys. David Ivins and Dane Lyman were the brave leaders that stayed over night and most of these boys are looking forward to next years event.
