David's fight August 22,2009

The fight was ended at the end of the second round in a TKO. The other guy won(by a cheap shot, he landed a carotid chop, which I am told is illegal). The fight was stopped by what is called a "doctor stop". The ring side physician stopped the fight. As you can see in the last picture David had a look of "I have no idea were I am" about him. He was helped out of the arena and then taken by ambulance to a local hospital to be checked out. His CT scan came back all clear and was released. Just a little sore. But, fine and wants to fight again.

Our Troop once again went to Kents Lake, Utah for the 3rd year in a row. We invited the Webelos from Pack 530 and one from Pack 838 to attend also. The boys had a great time again this year. We had over 40 people this year(the biggest turnout so far). Shayne had a good time in the canoes(although he will tell you he did not, the pictures tell otherwise).

These photos show the construction of the bypass bridge being built at Hoover Dam. Amazing how far they have come. You can also see how low Lake Mead really is.
