The 7 Scouts hiked 10 milkes from the pioneering site clockwise on Saturday, Jan 31 and qualified for the polar bear patch.
ReplyDeleteIt took about 6.5 hours with lunch. The crew took too long for lunch and made to many stops. We had a challange finding the pool trail from the site. The crew did do a great job setting up in the dark. We also purfied water with chemicals. The one-pot with turkey bags was great. The chaplin deliver a word fro Ephes 4:32 (be kind God forgave us) and thanks...The chaplin did not want to camp but was blessed heavely vistas.
