skeptic 1002 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Took scouts on a short day hike to a local swimming spot on a nearby river. We had about 2 hours of almost no company. Floated on my back watching blue damsel flies, red and blackish dragon flies in pairs, swallows swooping for insects, saw a fairly large turtle (for our area), lots of wild flowers still, a loud frog, and simply peace. When a large contingent of families showed with many under ten kids, I was please with my boys' giving them room and letting the parents know where deeper spots were, or rough bottom. Had to dowse a small campfire still smoking made by fishermen that left when we came (mentioned the fire to them, and they sort of put sand on it), along with picking up beer containers. Only two of them, so not too bad. Overall, just a relaxing short hike and refreshing float with scouts being scouts, and families letting kids be kids. Link to post Share on other sites
