Here's a story for ya..
At Dr. Franklin Miles Boyscout camp camporee there are contests.. and there was a cemented channel between the two lakes a couple hundred feet long.. well, they would pump out water from the one lake.. making the water level lower than the other one.. well, so this cemented channel would drain dry into the lower lake.. They had a sled that 6 scouts would pull with ropes towards the higher lake with the dam.. and someone would release the water when you were about half way there.. Well, one scout rode the sled while the other 6 pulled it toward the dam.. and you are on cement until you hit the wall of water coming toward you.. that one of the administrators released by raising a wood rail.. .. So we watched other troops do this.. we saw their errors.. well, I grew up water skiing AND skim boarding behind boats, not enuff hp to ski so plywood worked to kneeboard or bodyboard.. .. so I had a clue about that.. my buddys told the older dudes. .hey this guy here.. I had seen other people already hit the walls of the channel.. fall off when they hit the wall of water gushing toward them.. so just common sense knowing I would make the ride all the way and it was being timed.. these older bastards would run me right into the dam at the end.. and they did.. I jumped up flew over the dam and landed in the lake.. yaknow.. some things ya wish someone had recorded it.. lol.. we won the event and the whole dam contest that weekend.. nobody told me to worry about hitting the dam.. you have to think for yourself in this world..
Toasted marshmallows, yes,, you need to twirl them pretty much start to finish.. angle them upward once they catch fire.. .. I imagine I had some good teachers.. cannot recall how many times I have camped out. a dozen of us would camp on the beach at the pass with my Dad and his buddy.. and our mullet skiff.. then as a boy scout we had cabins man at camp miles. .. OUR TROOP 75 WON THE STATE CAMPOREES.. twice I think.. Our scoutmaster looked and acted like mister kotaire.. heh as a teenager we would trek out behind our old elementary school , through 400' of mangroves , (saltwater marsh) muck and mudd,, to a shell island. .probly a burial grounds. .it was high and dry.. lol. Chuck would steal a whole bottle of booze from his mother and then just deal with her later... the other side of the island where we camped was on shallow saltwater channels. and we were able to harvest some oysters.. Chance of cops showing up? hah,, not very likely..
We'd spend the weekend out there doing what teenagers did back then.,. ok honestly , cigarettes , alcohol and pot.. swim.. fires... eat.. completely unstructured couple of days..
anyways thats what us cool kids were doing .. ;)
That was just a few reasons why not to drink. I watched over the years Alcohol destroy many people and kill some of my friends and still other friends keep on drinking . I have NEVER seen anything good come from Alcohol . If you can can think of a good reason to drink I would like to know what it is ! ? Maybe one .. If you need to dig a BULLET out of someone or cut off a leg !
