High Adventure
Colorado 2002
by
Josh M. Troop Librarian
On July 27, 2002 troop 552 went to Colorado for their High Adventure. The
scout who went are David, Sherman, Casey, Scott, Jessie, Josh and Nick.
The adults who attended are Mr. Holland, Mr. Steigerwald, Mr. Scovil, Mr. Beck,
Mr. Everit Smith and Mr. James Smith. Sherman was our Chaplain for the
trip. Our main cooks were Mr. Scovil, Mr. Beck, and Mr. Steigerwald.
The Hike into camp from the bus was 5.3 miles. Several people hiked up a
mountain nearby our camp. On The first trip Scott and Nick were the only
ones to go. On the second trip Sherman, Nick and Josh went up. The next
day the whole troop hiked Mosca Pass to the sand dunes. 5 of the boys
hiked all the way up to the top of the sand dunes. It took David, Sherman,
Scott, Nick, and Josh about 4 hours to make the hike to the top and back.
On the next day several people went to the Rock crusher at the base of Mt.
Blanca. We climbed over a huge natural dam-like structure. We
explored several caves and mines. We saw a heard of Mountain goats and
several other different kind of animals.
We didn't get to go on our overnighter this year. The reason for the was
that there were too many bears in the area and wandering into camp. We saw
several bears and another troop helped catch one. We almost left early
because of the bear problem. On the first night there we slept on the bus,
because a bear walked into camp during dinner. But we stuck it out
and got home on schedule and we are all fine. For More pictures of our trip
