Hike to Cedar Bluff

The troop walked 5 1/2 miles to Cedar Bluff and camped over night. The best part of the hike was Phil saying “One more hill” every time someone asked how much further. The M.R.E’s did not taste as good as they made it sound. We woke up on Sunday at 7am and hiked 5 1/2 miles to Sawmill.

Hike to Cedar Bluff

What a great weekend the troop had hiking to Cedar Bluff at the H. Roe Bartle Scout Reservation. The weather was great for a backpacking trip. The Scouts and leaders really enjoyed sleeping on the ledge and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The challenges for the weekend were carrying everything you needed for the weekend in your backpack on your back and walking 10 miles roundtrip. The scouts and leaders that took part did an awesome job. Also, I believe they had an great time seeing areas of scout camp that a lot of scouts never get to see up close at scout camp.
