[Troop351] September Camping

[Josh Cooley]

The forecast continues to vary.  At 3pm, they are showing a chance of
thunderstorms most of Friday evening until 9pm.  The latest from
alabamaws.com says the weekend is not a total wash-out, but says the
weather is unsettled with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms.

Due to the chance of severe weather and the likelihood that we will not be
able to go horseback riding, we're going to cancel this weekends plans.  If
there's interest and availability, we will reschedule.
