Varsity Rendezvous at Daniel Boon Home

For the last several years, we have had a Varsity Scout Rendezvous at the Daniel Boon home property. It was on the third weekend in October. There are lots of mountain man activities and competitions in events such as black powder rifle shooting, tomahawk throw, flint and steel fire starting and other events. This first picture is our camp with the beginnings of fall colors and a little misty fog as it was getting light Saturday morning.

This next series of photos are of Joseph participating in the tomahawk throw.

I did not take many other pictures this year as I was working on the Dutch oven feast. The adult leaders all fix food in Dutch ovens and have a huge potluck feast. There were 30-40 Dutch ovens with a huge variety of stews, chilies, deserts. One guy made chicken enchiladas that were really good. I made a thick version of chicken noodle soup that was more like chicken noodle stew in my old Dutch oven. I also used the ginormous Dutch oven that Julie got for me and made a triple batch of cornbread. The cornbread came out perfectly. Since it was the only cornbread there, it was the first Dutch oven to be emptied. This is a photo of the crumbs in the bottom.
