20-Mile Hike
Dawn until Dusk! Snow on the ground. It was dark and below freezing when we began at 6:00 am. 11:30 am we'd cover 11 miles, stopped at the turn-around for hot chili and a break. The sun was out by then, temperatures in the 50's. The return trip was not phyical, it was mental. and by dusk it was over, dark and cold!
Challenge Campout
The Challenge Campout, formally the Survival Campout, began with a downpour. Set up shelters in the dark. Cooked breakfast eggs without utencils. Practiced survival skills;fire, edible pants, first aid, signaling, and water purification. Saturday dinner feast, 30 degree night in a leaf shelter and fun!
