Only a couple photos this time. I didn't ask for permission again. Seven cub scouts and two boy scouts joined five parents for a walk on the John B. Hudson trail in Arcadia. It's only three miles and the weather was fine. A little hot, but cooler in the damp forest.
The trail is well marked and an easy stroll for little ones and urbanite moms alike. It passes by a historical graveyard (town of Exeter 101) where the boys took a brief break. The trail loops near the end and passes by Breakheart Pond.
We dallied by the pond. The boys appeared to be having a great time. The path back towards the graveyard was muddy much to the delight of the boys. A couple of the moms weren't quite as pleased. It dried up soon enough and we were back on the same trail that took us out.
If you read my blog, you know how important I feel it is to get kids into the outdoors. A simple thing like a 45 minute drive, a 1 1/2 hour walk, and a light snack can do wonders. And we got a few scout requirements out of the way.
