May 2012 Saddle Mountain Hike

Post date: Jun 12, 2012 1:19:40 AM

This year, the PLC agreed that they wanted to do more hiking. To prepare the Troop for future over-night backpacking trips, they also decided to do a "practice hike" with packs, but without the need to spend the night. They chose a strenuous hike so that everyone would know that they can do the next one where they will spend the night. The Saddle Mountain hike started in the mist, which stayed most of the day. Everyone reached the top, which was a great achievement, especially carrying their overnight backpacks. The view from the summit was spectacular. On the way back, the mist cleared and we could see where we had been -- what a sight! Over-all, a great hike. Although...next time, whomever picks the hike has to actually GO on the hike! :-)
