On Labor Day Weekend Aaron and Sam went with the scouts on a backpacking trip to Lake Blanche. It was a 2700 foot elevation climb in 2.7 miles, which isn't long, but it is pretty STEEP.
After spending the night at Lake Blanche the boys headed up to Sun Dial Peak...another 1,000 foot elevation gain. It was mostly boulder and rock climbing...which Sammy loves to do!
On the way up Sammy had to go potty and Aaron convinced him to wait a few more minutes until they were at the summit of Sun Dial Peak. Here is Sammy pee-ing at 10,000 feet! Of course Aaron had to hold on to him so he wouldn't loose his balance. Among the 7 boys, only Sam and two other scouts made it to the summit!
Here is a picture of a moose, a big bull. Just a few minutes previous they ran into the cow. They weren't very far apart so they must have been a married couple :-)
