Coming up: free admission to national parks

Mark your calendars – National Park Week is coming up April 17-25! Entrance to all national parks is free during those dates, which could save you quite a bit of money for some parks if you’re willing to fight the crowds.
Isn’t it awesome that we have so many national parks within driving distance of Colorado Springs? So much of God’s majesty is on display in the Colorado mountains. Above is a pic from a trip we took to Great Sand Dunes National Park a few years ago. Spring is a great time to go to that park, there’s a little “river” that runs across the front of the dunes, created from snow melt. It’s cold, but fun!
Free mulch from the city
Hey, did you know you can get free mulch from the city of Colorado Springs? Take a bucket or wheelbarrow and a shovel and head to the Forestry Operations Center to get your free mulch! More details here. By the way, I just checked and the New Home Tree Certificate program has been suspended due to budget cuts.
Happy yard work!

Goof Off Camp With Troop 199
Over the weekend I got to spend a few snowy day and nights with Colorado Springs BSA, Troop 199, during Goof Off Camp at BSA Camp Alexander. Goof Off is a bit different than most Scout camping trips. We stay in a cabin, instead of tents (luckily since it snowed big time), the parents do all the cooking, electronic devices and games of all type are allowed. Basically, the boys can do whatever they’d like (within limitation) and just have some fun. I think everyone had a great time.
