A Hike to the Skies

A Hike to the Skies

Saturday morning (April 11) started out with gorgeous weather, as 23 brave scouts and nine intrepid "parent-scouters" from Troop 1916 convened at The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (our troop's sponsor) for the scouts' first backpacking trip of the year. Our destination was Kepler Overlook in the beautiful mountains of Virginia's George Washington National Forest.
