Sullivan Lake Sept 11-12 2009


Here we are. Left to right. Darian Farnworth, Cullen Fletcher, Sam Ramos, Zac McMaster, Scott Farnworth, Cole Shirley, Chris Howell, Steve Nicolaysen. The plan was bag Hall Peak, approx 6,000 ft elevation, instead we hiked from the gate near Sullivan Creek to the trail head approx 3 miles each way. It's hard to fit a monthly overnighter in a very very busy calendar. We had Regional Conference this weekend. But it's all good. We traded a 5mile trail hike to the peak for a 6 mile road hike and cool shade for the view we would have had of the Selkirks from the peak.

Second photo, same players except substitute Matt Borders for Chris Howell.

Third photo, Courtney Goodey, Jake Scott and Matt Borders.

All in all a great campout. We had ice cream and cookies for our campfire at least those that stayed up til 10:30. We heard scary stories, sang a couple songs, had a spiritual thought and a scout masters minute commemorating 911 and Scott Strauss. Matt painted the picture of Capitan Moroni and how he was bold, powerful and armed to take on the enemy in his day. We also had a couple games of Run Sheepy Run, which cost Scott a nasty abrasion on his knee, but pre med student, Steve Nicolaysen did a nice job bandaging him up.
