2015 Spring Boys Longhouse
The weather held out and the boys had a great time at Blue Springs.
We had a great opportunity to dig for artifacts on a site where woolly mammoth bones and teeth have been found. Thanks to our National Archaeological Dig Society representative Kicking Buffalo, we were alerted of the recent weather and geological phenomenon that gave us an advantage in finding artifacts that particular weekend.
While we had war games, it was the springs that seemed to be the big attraction. It offered a great chance to cool off and show off our superior diving skills. Luckily, the spring was able to keep the water at a constant level with all of the huge splashing going on.
