Learning to pitch balls on the driving range.



Sister Elgin has joined in on the fun. Her help is appreciated.



Dory learns to push the ball on the green.


Scoutmaster Haight and Sister Elgin test the boys.


Shaniqua may run like a gazelle but putts like a ballerina.
Polly watches in amazement that
the ball even came close to the hole.


Nice hitting Dory. The ball really left the ground!


Scoutmaster Haight and the rule book. Man looks good
in a uniform.


A bucket of balls, three or four swings, and a ball dribbles
along the driving range. We have a ways to go and we're
having fun!



One more swing and I think Shaniqua will actually hit
the ball.


Yes, after several tries Liz gets the ball in the hole.
Way to go!

Wake up call!

Pinnacles National Monument

We're on our way traveling along the San Andreas fault.

Spring at the Pinnacles National Monument brought out
many wild flowers and the wild spirits of young and old alike.




Tomb Raiders? Sometimes you had that Indiana Jones
feel; like at any moment some boulder was going to come
rushing at you. The treasure was just being there.

Is that big boulder rolling towards us?

Below are the views that Bro. Todd saw as he hiked.

If you can't run with the big dogs, this is what you get to

see!



Into the dark and unknown we adventured.




Sometimes movement came to a crawl.

Scoutmaster Widner is goin' to get ya!

Yahhh!!!!!

Liz with a camera and some great shots!



Low, low, low, low!



Marie shows fear of escaping gas!



Waterfall! I don't know who smelled
worse the water or us.



Separation anxiety.
Where did the rest of the troop go?




Headlamps a must for the caves. Don't leave camp without

them!

Liz and Polly ready for adventure.



Relaxing at camp.



Liz and Polly pose among the humongous boulders.



Shorts, who could it be?



Get behind this one and you might have to back up.



Hiking was great through two different caves and
repeating one at night with Pres. Evans.



Pigs rooted here before we arrived.

Liz captures a picture of a deer.






Most of the group.



Beautiful views!


The water that fed one of the caves.

Racoon tracks.

The sun shone but the weather was cool, even cold.

The second day frost could be found inside the tents.


Wow! Spring break was great! Thanks scoutmaster

Haight for a great time and great food.

Thanks to the other adult leaders, too, for their help.
