The dining flys are coming down.

Our bus is here!!! :D

Everything has been sorted into two groups. A pile of cots, totes, and
personal gear for Peoria and Bloomington.

We have everything in the truck except for dining flys! (I wonder
where we will put them.)

Our charter bus is on it's way to our campsite! It was parked here at
jamboree in a locked location for the duration of our awesome stay
here, and the drivers took a van back to Illinois. We were not the
only council to use Peoria Charter Coach, it turns out that both a
southern Illinois and a rural Missouri council hired the same company!

And now we are doing the same for Troop 1036!

Because Troop 1035 was missing in action (maybe went for a walk?), we
decided to clean their campsite for them. We found many treasures like
tent stakes, sun glasses, and star fun patches.

It has been an interesting night. We were harshly awaken by the sound
of rain. In order to fit our entire troop back into the fly, we had to
break down our cots and mattresses (previously two patrols were
staying about 250 feet away in a fancy striped green tent. We then
fell back asleep and awoke at 6 again. Right on our normal schedule, I
just wish we were following this time pattern. We all then took
showers (showering outside in the rain is fun!) and ate breakfast. It
was beef jerky, muffins, cereal bars, fruit cups and juice.

Here is a better picture, reference previous post.

We have recieved a late night snack! Mr Nick W. has donated leftover
ice cream, whipped cream, and bannanas to Troop 1034. Yum!

Our closing central region arena show. National Jamboree is divided up
into 5 regions - Central, West, Northeast, Southern, and Eastern?
(don't quote me on that :D ) each region has a stage with tons of
entertainment every night ranging from a Militia Band to air force
drill team to a robotics competition (another free tshirt!) - tonight
is the final night so they are introducing the staff followed by a
talent competition.

The campsite is almost empty, signifying another passing Jamboree :(

And the tent is done!

Ta-Da! A super humungo totally awesome rain reducing wind blocking tent!

Here is the surprise! In order to save time in the morning, we will be
having a slumber party under the dining flys. Each dining fly can hold
12 scouts, times 3 dining flys, equals 36 scouts!

This place looks exactly like it did when we got here, except all the
grass is dead. Gotta love sandy soil. :D

In this photo, we are cleaning out a stove so it can be stored. Bio-
degradable Dawn and water is used to protect the enviroment.

Taking a break from packing to prepare and eat dinner. (Hey! Is that
my finger?)
