Catalina Cub Scout Trip Was Astonishing

Viewers of this blog, people of all ages..... A message from Bubs and Dad....

If you have not ever done this, please visit Catalina Island. Why, you ask? Because it has (if you go to Camp Cherry Valley) a lot of cool and interesting things.

When we were there, we saw a real, live Buffalo and a fox ran through our tent and Bub's friend's tent. Dad saw it come out of our tent. I saw it go in to my friend's tent.

There is a lot of quartz on the island. If you are in total darkness, scratch the two pieces of quartz together, like when you light a match. When you do it, there will be this piece of fake light that will glow in between the quartz. I do not know what it is called, but it is not a spark. Feel the place where the two quartz's touched and you will say to yourself "I am surprised that this is not warm".

One night, we visited and walked in an old, real silver mine that a couple of men made about 100 years ago in the side of a mountain. When in the mine you shut off all the flashlights, it was soooooooo 100% dark. Later on that same night, we had a big campfire. The scouts and camp directors did some pretty funny skits.

We would like to go back to Catalina Island for a vacation.
