The weekend backpacking trip went very well thanks to Bill Abel’s superior mapping skills. Saturday began with a two mile hike into a beautiful saddle on the backside of Cheaha Mountain. We setup camp, had lunch and then ventured on a 5 mile trek that took us across the Pinhoti ridge with some breathtaking vistas. Returning to camp we had dinner then enjoyed a roaring campfire while singing Irish folk songs and enjoyed skits performed by some enthusiastic performers. Special thanks to Camp Wilhelm who led us and the Crew leaders and Quartermasters for keeping us organized and fed.
