A Beautiful Hike

Getting Ready for the 50-miler
For their summer scout camp this year, our boy scouts in the ward are doing a 50-mile hike on Appalachian Trail. It will take place the first week in June. In order to prepare, the boys have several hikes they have to attend to get ready and in shape. Their most recent was last Saturday. Eric and Alex went with the Boy Scouts on a 12 mile hike in Carthage, TN. They met at the church at 5:50am, and got home around 6pm. It was about 1 1/2 hours away. It was supposed to be one of the most difficult terrains in the area. They said it was a beautiful area, and that it was hard, but they made it. Eric has had a calling in Young Men's for about a year now and recently got called as president. It is a new challenge for him, but he is up to the task I think. I am so glad that he and Alex get to go together on these type of outings. It gives me peace of mind knowing that Eric is there to watch out for my boy!
