Take a Hike

Mark and Jacob had their first true backpacking trip last month. They, along with 16 other scouts, hiked part of the Appalachian Trail in the Georgia mountains. Three days and two nights of wilderness, isolation and no communication.

Jacob day two, repacked and headed further into the wilderness.

The long and winding road, up into the mountains.

First night, setting up camp. Only about 21 degrees that first night.

The views from the trail.

They had a blast, came home dirty and smelly, but can't wait to do it again.
