Ski Trip 2010
Twenty scouts and eight scouters from Troop 127 enjoyed skiing on Wildcat Mountain this weekend, and clean, rustic living at the AMC's Joe Dodge Lodge.
We arrived on Friday night halfway through a 45 inch snowstorm, and skied in near white-out conditions Saturday - but the snow made for great skiing.
The same can't be said for photography: the wetness and low visibility grounded Walter, who read an entire Frederick Forsyth novel instead.
Only perseverance by Harry produced this last-minute group shot:
Will Bursaw's a lone wolf, Aaron poses like Napoleon but with the wrong arm in his coat, while Harry, Matt, Jack, Will Tylko and Zach act like a group.
I urge anyone who was intrigued by the AMC (Appalachian Mountain Club) Lodge to go to their website http://www.outdoors.org/ and learn about this awesome organization, whose president, Andy Fallander, lives in Lincoln. We hope to plan a two-night hike this spring that will include at least one of their mountaintop Huts.
