Adam, Loren and Erik came to the creek and had to figure out a way to cross
There were several dead trees along the hiking paths and Erik liked to hang out in them
Nolan, Kylan, and Erik hide out in another dead tree
This tree had fallen over exposing its roots and providing an opportunity for boys to explore
Erik and Kylan check out the tree
Erik loves climbing trees, even those on their side!
Erik peaks through the exposed roots of the tree
This is one of Jean's favorite photos...the scale of the trees to the boys is very symbolic
The boys used their walking sticks on the hike
The Scouts of Pack 127 stop to check out a small waterfall on the creek
This is the entrance to Wolf Cave. I thought this was a tight squeeze until I saw the rest of the cave.
This is the last wide part of the cave. You can see the water at the bottom and the short narrow path.
Erik and Adam squeeze through one of the narrow passages
The end of the cave had a very small opening that you had crawl through on your belly
I explained the cave to someone else and they said it sounded more like a crack in a rock; that is a much more appropriate name
After you crawl through the hall you come out into this area. You can see the bottom of one of the natural bridges that existed near the end of the cave
Isaac (the boy in the black shirt) had just fallen down the side of a hill and landed on the rock; fortunately he was OK
Erik and Kylan look for their walking sticks
Erik and Kylan take a shortcut along the hike
Scouts and dads gather around the campfire back at the campsite
This photo was taken from one of our campsites looking at the other; our tent is the one of the far right
This is our food tent with the campfire on the left
A game of soccer/kickball
Erik demonstrates the proper way to kick a soccer ball
Kylan demonstrates his Vulcan greeting
Jamie Neff enjoys the campfire on a beautiful night
It's amazing how the boys are all fascinated with fire
It started raining about 11:00 at night and rained most of the night and into the morning
Kylan admires his cup of hot chocolate
Breakfast was scrambled eggs in a bag; here Michael gets his eggs cracked and dumped into the bag
Will demonstrates how you break the yoke in the bag
Doug helps add peppers, onions, ham, mushrooms and tomatoes
The boys stay warm by the fire after a long night of sleeping in the rain
A downstream view of McCormick's Creek near the waterfall
The waterfall
Kylan wanted to have his picture taken with the waterfall so he could use it for his computer wallpaper
The upper hiking path is at the top of this picture
It was interesting to see the trees growing out of the top soil on top of the limestone
Some trees grew sideways first out of the ground; isn't nature interesting?
You can see the concrete platform where our other pictures were taken
The waterfall from the upper path
