On Saturday, March 19, 2022 the boys of Troop 11 and the girls of Troop 19 woke up at a bright and early 4:30 A.M to prepare for their trip later in the day at Tolula Gorge. Soon, they were all in cars and ready to go, but fell asleep about 30 minutes into the drive. After a refreshing 3 hour car nap, the scouts were all energized and ready to descend close to 600 steps and walk back up another 300 to enjoy some gorgeous views. Next, they scaled back to the top of the gorge and enjoyed a nice sandwich picnic on a bench, out of the way of the sun. After that, the scouts came back to camp and cooked a delicious spaghetti dinner while the adults enjoyed steak and baked potatoes. At the end of the day, all the scouts retreated from the cold into their tents and slept until morning, where they ate and packed to head home from yet another amazing trip.
