Went to scout camp Sea Base with the two boy’s years ago. When it was in the upper nineties up north. 85 down there but so humid. I was an adult advisor (committee chairman).
Camped on an island in the keys for a week. The only permeant thing was Mt. Clevis. A twenty step thing you went up to the top do your duty.
They took us there in large Boston whalers. We had to walk across the bay ferrying all of our positions and frozen food for the week in insulated 50gal barrels via canoes. The bay water had to be way over 100 degrees. It hurt.
There were two great parts to the trip.
First we would go out on the Boston whalers and fish for supper for the night.
The second part was we arrived there when it was just legal to harvest spiny lobster.
The truly great part of the trip was in the frozen barrels was butter and steak to have with the lobsters cooked that night.
The rest of the stay was normal scout stuff.
