Pine Grove Furnace

We arrived at camp very early and almost immediately started to hike up the slight mountain slope.  The young scout were doing just great.  We hiked for about four miles and sat by the lake had had a lunch with freeze dried food.  All in all it was pretty good.  Some of us climbed higher to see a better view of the landscape while other hiked the lake.  We then took a long detour to get to base camp because James Malone doen's know how to read a map yet.  Thanks, to my dogged persistence (Vince)we arrive at camp before nightfall to set up camp.  The food was pretty good last night and all turned in early because we were exhausted and the wind was tremondous, the temperature this morning was reading at 25 with the wind chill factor and snowing. Mark, Hayden, Jacob and Matt did just a great job living up to the high standards of a scout.  Sincerely, Vince Rossi, Scoutmaster
