Troop 226 Goes Backpacking… Destination Unknown!!:  On Saturday, March 19^th, Troop 226 met at Sam’s Wholesale parking lot at 8:00 a.m.  We had fun with the boys since they don’t know where we’re going!!  We got to the drop site on the Fall Creek Loop.  The Lord blessed us with a beautiful day and hike!!  We completed the Fall Creek Loop and looked at some old settlements… old log cabins and an old house.  We stopped at the old house for about a half hour.  We then headed back out for Devil’s Backbone… that proved to be quite a challenge.  We finally made it to the top and were treated to a great view!!  We had lunch up there and then headed down the other side toward the Warrior’s Path Golf Course.  We then crossed the Fall Creek Road bridge.  We then got on the Riverbank Trail and hiked to the boat ramp.  We then got on the Lakeshore Trail and hiked on to the main campground to complete the 5-mile hike.  We set up camp and let the boys play and roam.  We had a campfire at 7:30 p.m.  We had a reflection about the hike, Aaron had a VERY nice message, and then we told some stories.  We let the boys play until it began raining at 9:30 p.m… and we all turned in for the night.  We had a raccoon visit us during the night.
