In March 2013 Troop 55 embarked on a backpacking adventure to Southern/Central Virginia. We hiked and backpacked up to Crabtree Falls and on Sunday scrambled to the top of Spy Rock. Mr. Phillips enthusiastically proclaimed that this was one of his favorite outings ever with Troop 55.
Historian Report:
In March, Troop 55 went to Spy rock and Crabtree Falls. First we hiked up to Crabtree Falls. It was all up hill and very strenuous. Once you got to the top it was the most amazing view and made the trek worth it. After we enjoyed the view, we settled down and had lunch.
After lunch we continued our hike to Spy Rock. Almost to Spy Rock it started raining and we decided to stop off the trail and made camp there. The Dragons patrol had freeze-dried pasta for dinner and roasted hot-dogs on the campfire.
On Sunday, my patrol had oatmeal for breakfast and headed out. It drizzled while we hiked to Spy Rock. The view at Spy rock was obscured by fog but it was fun climbing it. It was a great outing!
