It was a great weekend at the School of the Ranger this past weekend. The weather was cold but, dry and sunshine. Time was spent in the classroom along with scouts taken in the woods to put what they learned to use.I was put up in the officer building while the rest were in the soldiers barracks.It was a chore in it's self to keep the rooms some what warm.
