While some scouts were at Flat Mountain Pond, Silas, Kyle, and JP went on a day hike with Mr LaLiberte and Mr. O’Brien. We parked at Smith Plumbing and Heating and hiked west toward the Moat mountains. We passed a logging operation, bear tracks in the snow, a beaver bog, while we were on national forest logging roads. We followed a brook to a gigantic freezing waterfall that is secluded off the beaten path. You can’t get there from here. We made a fire in an established fire pit to warm Kyle’s feet. On the way back to civilization we picked up some gear that Silas stashed on the way out. We did a service project at an old troop 150 campsite, and made it back to the West Side Road by three o’clock.
