Follow the Blue Blazes!

Three by the Blaze On one of the last nice days of the year, the whole crew took off from Boston Store to Peninsula on the Buckeye Trail. The route can be found here—it's a duplicate of the one I led the Troop on a few weeks earlier. Only this time the weather was almost too warm!

This first picture is of the smaller ones on the crew right after the first steep climb out of the valley. You can see they're all still smiling and full of energy.

The youngest chirped in my ear nearly the whole way. At one point when we went deep into one of the pine lane sections of the trail, she told me that "it's really dark in the woods, daddy". We definitely had longer shadows than in the summertime.

You can see the deep leaves that we had to navigate. It didn't really make it that much more difficult. Occasionally we'd miss a tree root and stub our toes.

The trail is very well marked; there's really no chance of getting lost.

We learned that only Mom likes walking sticks. The two staves that the oldest brought along got left behind near Boston Mills road at one point (to be retrieved later that evening).
