  • 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 physical , 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 utensils. Practiced survival skills;fire, edible pants, first aid, signaling, and water purification. Saturday dinner feast, 30 degree night in a leaf shelter and fun!
