4. Time to go home to Minnesota. It might still be snowing there!

There's this advantage: the campfire will light itself!

10. Brownies are resilient. They don't learn to really kvetch until they're scouts.
I went on a couple of Brownie & GS outings. Regardless of the impediments, we always had fun.

14. Bring lots of sports drinks.
Summer is coming on fast here, so far we really haven't had really hot weather yet.

16. Elevation is your friend
The higher the better for this weekend. 10,000-14,000 ft high, you may get a little dizzy, but it'll be cool. Heck, the Brownies will slow down a bit at that elevation, too.

20. Pack a big cooler full of 16 oz. frozen water bottles.
Stuff them in pockets or one in your bra to keep cool and you'll be able to sip the water as the ice melts!

Have fun!!! :hi:
