On Labor Day Weekend, I and 4 other adults went on a 20 mile hike with Scouts who were attempting to earn their hiking merit badge. We picked an area we thought would be "easy" for a hike. We stayed at Mt. Rogers area on Friday night then hiked towards Damascus on Saturday for 20+ miles. Easy is relative as we thought we were going to be downhill all day. But we realized we had to go up before we went down. AND: down wasnt down all day. It was "rolling". All in all the boys had a great day and we got them all back to the camp area (after a little mis-communication on where to pick us up) tired, safe, but satisfied. We had great food that night but most of us were asleep by 9.
