AT Trek no. 10

Six of our older scouts plus Pepper hiked around 8 miles on day 1 and 5 miles on day 2.  This overnight trek was both very scenic and very tiring.  It was the most difficult hike so far not because of distance , but because of the terrain and elevation differences.  It also was cold at night. [approx. 26 deg F.]  We hiked up and down Bear Mountain and several smaller mountains.  From the top of one of the mountains, we could see Manhattan roughly 50 miles away.
