Scouts stride on spit!

On the weekend of September 26-27, a group of us hiked the Dungeness Spit near Sequim on the Straight of Juan de Fuca. The destination... the Dungeness Lighthouse, 5+ miles away at the end of the spit! Those scouts who walked 11 miles were Owen D., Jacob D., Harrison K., Charlie H., Zachary D., Jesse S., Chris H., and Avery K. William D. arrived later in the day, but was still able to enjoy the spit for a couple hours.

It was a long 6+ hour hike, but the boys persevered and learned the meaning of persistence! When we returned, we settled at the Dungeness State Park campground for an overnight. The evening was filled with plenty of food, fun, and fire!

Adults participating were Mr. Dickson, Mr. Hadland, Mr. Kwik, Mr. Delbrueck, and Mr. Black. Also in attendance was Avery's new puppy dog Josie.
