June 2000, Clear Lake

Page 2

On June 23rd to 25th, our troop went to Clear Lake to do a 15 mile hike in support of the Backpacking Merit Badge. We had Neil B, Ty F, Nick H, Sean M and Amphil R do this hike. In addition we had Bob B, John D, JP D [second night], Jody F, Kevin H and Dave R as adults.

There are lots of photos from this trip. This page only shows some of the nicest. If you follow the arrows from the individual pages you can see additional pictures.

During this time of the year, the McKenzie River flows underground for a couple of miles. When it pops out, it does so in style. The full flow of the river comes out in this crystal clear pool.
We spent Saturday night near the trail bridge camp. Kevin taught the scouts a game of "King Frog" which has trivial rules, but seems hard to keep straight (which is the whole point.)
By the end of the trail, everyone was tired. We took a car trip back to the lodge at Clear Lake for a bit of pie and ice cream.
The 50 mile hike is planned for the Three Sister's area.
