Hiking and exploring

Every year we have a wilderness survival weekend for the Boy Scouts. 

It's a weekend for them to use their skills in shelter making and backpack cooking.

This year we are thinking about a nite hike along a shoreline to get to our shelter ground. The boys and I did a little exploring to see what the area looks like and it's conditions.

Here's a pretty grove of trees usually on a nice point in the water, but due to winter pool they are all alone.

And the boys, taking a break and trying to eat a snack....... Though we are only a 1/2 mile into the hike.
