Six Scouts from Troop 514 and myself and a dad of one of the boys enjoyed a fabulous outing in the canyon country of Malheur County, OR. The scenery there reminds one of Utah, as massive cliffs and whimsical rock formations reach skywards. We had a nice blend of older, experienced Scouts and younger, new scouts. The older boys did an excellent job of preparing meals, leading hikes, and playing games with the younger ones. They were excellent role models.
We arrived Friday evening and set up camp at sunset. Saturday was clear and warm. After breakfast we drove from our campsite above Succor Creek to Leslie Gulch. The boys hiked, “bouldered,” and enjoyed the magnificent scenery. By that evening it had clouded over and started to rain. Despite rainy Sunday morning weather, the older Scouts cooked sausage and pancakes, and we enjoyed an excellent breakfast before packing and cleaning up.
Enjoy these pictures. I will be doing another post of just scenery soon.
