Grayson Highlands Hike

Okay so old school people call this area Mt. Rogers but what ever its name is it is some beautiful country.I have many pictures of the landscape of the area but not one of my photographs do it justice. The Troop has been blessed the past few weeks with the teachings of a wonderful Scout named Ted Holt. He is a Troop 934 Eagle Scout who is a student at Duke, but because he is going to spend this year at Oxford he has had the time to teach the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge to our boys. One of the requirements is to spend a night in a shelter that you have built yourself. He graciously came on our trek to educate, supervise, and provide encouragement to the boys working on the badge. I really enjoyed watching Mr. Holt working with the Scouts and I learned a thing or two myself. You can find some of the shelters that the boys built and the rest of the pictures on my Mt. Rogers Web Album. I almost forgot that we had some of the wild horses in the park that hung around with us at our campsite. You can see them too. Mt. Rogers
