The boys just finished a 40 mile trek along the Rogue River trail with their scout troop on Saturday, and made it the whole way with their packs and all. Everyone said that Monte, Jared, and their friends, Tanner, and Bryce took off and left everyone else in the dust. They had rain all day the first day, but still finished their 9 mile goal for that day. Then the next day the sky cleared and so they took advantage of the break in the weather and did 15 miles (Holy Cow). The third morning they woke up to snow on the ground, and snow the rest of the day, so 3 miles only were accomplished. The last day they knew they had to get all the way out, and the weather was fair, only raining on and off, so they did the last 13 miles, and were rewarded by the spectacular view of the mouth of the Rogue River opening up to the Pacific. Wendy and I picked up a group of tired, hungry boys in Gold Beach, feed them hamburgers, and let them sleep all the way home. What a great experience! A Spring Break well spent.
