On Feb 8 several scouts went to Paris Mountain to do a hike and search for some geocaches. This turned into a mighty adventure hike of around 3 miles during the best snowfall of the season! The scouts experienced the thrill of the hunt for geocaches, finding all but one, while enjoying a “Raging South Carolina Blizzard.” They also got to see a little piece of history when they saw several Eagle Projects completed by our own Troop 925 Eagles.

After lunch, an impromptu Philmont training hike was had along the Sulphur Springs Loop, and the scenery was magnificent! Despite the mud and slippery terrain, the hike was wonderful. The snow on the ground deadened the woodland sounds and all we could hear was the snow falling or the rush of water. Yet another cherished memory for me in my participation with the Scouts!
