We had a wonderful day hiking to the very top of haycock mountain on Sunday and couldn't have asked for better weather. We had approximately a dozen kids and some adventerrous fathers blaze the trail over logs and rocks, or shall I call them boulders? Our guest leader, Mr Hall, kept the kids attentive with interesting facts about identifying leaves and trees. We chimneyed up the rocks at the top and a round of appluase to Mr Neuman for chimneying from bottom to top.
Our photography group took some amazing nature pictures including a spider web that glistened a vibrant blue, snails in beautiful conkshells. They showed a great eye for detail and can't wait to see all the pictures developed!
Kudos to Tom Neuman for collecting trash including a grill lid and a lunchables box and carrying them all the way back down to properly dispose of the trash!
Our group will be meeting again at the boat dock parking lot in Lake Towhee at 1pm next Sunday afternoon. We will spend 15 -30 minutes making stamps for letterboxing. Draw some ideas this week that you may want to put on your stamp. something personal, funny or something for 4-h. the stamps will be small, approx 1" by 1" and the key is to keep it simple. We will have a 4-H clover stamp that we will plant and hide in the park and we will go out on a shorter hike to try and find 4 letterboxes already in the park. Find out more about letterboxing here http://www.letterboxing.org/index.php. I found out this week, there is a letterbox at the top of haycock mountain! anyone up for going back up to find it?
For those in Drama, we will leave straight from the hike and head over to drama at 3pm.
Happy Hiking!
Mrs. P.
