Devil’s Playground 2016

The scouts enjoyed an overcast morning at The Playground last Saturday, July 2nd. Lots of rock hopping, scrambling and of course searching for and exploring the “cave”. The sun never did come out up there, but that was fine. A quick check by ASM Pinner on the status of the scout’s preparedness of the Hiking Essentials showed mixed results, some with just about everything, some with almost nothing!
