Snowshoeing at Craters of the Moon, Idaho Tech Council, scissors and the Boise Beat…

• Avimor Birding Blog: Snowshoeing at Craters of the Moon. Within the last couple of months I have become involved with the local Boy Scout troop as a leader with the 14-15 year old boys.  Saturday, we combined with the 16-17 year olds for a day of snowshoeing at Craters of the Moon National Monument, about a three hour drive from Eagle, Idaho.  To make it on time we had to leave by 6am.  Only about half the boys that committed to go made it.  It makes me wonder if we are raising a generation of wimps or if they are so over-scheduled with other activities that an outdoor adventure isn’t an immediate priority like it was when I was their age.  Oh well.  Those that made it had a great time!  How often have you eaten lunch on top of a volcano?!
