After a morning of advancement activities, the scouts prepared some impressive meals for lunch. Here, Michael Mayse, J.T Desern and Taylor Bussey  warm up near their cooking fire.

Master chef Josh Fairhurst  passed part of his his first class cooking requirement by making Philly Cheesesteak. Um, um good.

The Drachen patrol  enjoys the cooking of Parker Harrsison.

Later, Assistant Scoutmaster Tom Link guided scouts  John Couture, Cyrus Atkins and Sheldon Whitcher while the rest of the troop participated in an orienteering course laid out by David Wormald.

John followed closely by Sheldon, traverse the cycling paths in Lake Crabtree Park, which is just across I40 from the campsite. It is a popular location for cyclers.

The entire cycling course we took this day was almost 25 miles. In addition to the cycling paths in Lake Crabtree Park, we traveled through Umstead Park on Old Reedy Creek Road. We also traveled on the Black Creek Greenway, where we stopped for this photo.
