I had the opportunity to go camping and hiking over the past weekend, Oct 28-29 at Messenger Flats. I went with my sons Boy Scout Troop, 373. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to go but I had a great time nonetheless.
I hiked 2.5 miles roundtrip up to the summit of Mt. Gleason, 6,500ft. The view from the summit was incredible. On the way up on one side of the ridge is the rich forest then on the other side is the Mojave Desert. It is a great lesson in climatology. The next morning I took the Scouts on a hike up to the summit where we had a Scout's Own Religious service. It is always inspiring to have a religious service in the wilderness.
Later this month, Josiah and I will be traveling with 3 other Scouts and 1 Scouter to Northern California to attend a NLS, National Leadership Seminar, for the Order of the Arrow. Josiah and I will be learing about leadership issues and characteristics.
