On May 7th we went on a hike that served 2 purposes. First, it was a hike that will earn the boys a H.A.T award for the El Camino Real trail. Second, the distance of the hike, 21 miles with elevataion gain, satisfies the Hiking Merit Badge requirement that they complete a 20 mile hike in one day. All of the 17 boys and 5 leaders completed the hike with no problems other than a few minor blisters.
