November 1997, Crabing
The bridge at Florence
Members of the Boy Scout Troop 163 from Corvallis, Oregon traveled
to Florence to catch crabs in November 1997.
The crabs had good luck this year, and only lost 2 members.
Even despite the rain, wind, tumbling tents, people had a good time.

| The first order of business is to set up camp.
Gary H is adding an extra tarp to the top
of his tent to deal with the possibility of rain.
| Then it is off to the docks for crabbing.
Andy W and Nick H have their life jackets
and rain coats on. It is unclear if it was the people or
the crabs who are really wetter.
Walt H has a tradition of giving a dollar to the
first scout to bring in a full sized crab. This year the
prize went to Andy C.

The crabs are the center of attention for
Trevor d and Zach d.

| | After a wet and windy night, it was time for a somewhat damp
breakfast. However, the day did clear up, and some of the scouts
were able to get time out on the beach before it was time to
head back to Corvallis.
