Figured I'd let this thread marinate a while before posting a buzz kill.
We visited the site on Basswood where the scout troupe was camped on the night of the big blow. It had been a couple of weeks since the tragedy but the site hadn't been touched since.
It was a humbling experience as you could see exactly what led up to the blow down. I really don't think anyone could have predicted that this could happen.
The thing that disturbed me the most was the evidence of the attempted rescue.
I can't imagine the terror these people endured.
