Indian Heaven Campout, September 19 - 20, 2009

Troop 351 camped at Trout Lake, Washington as the base for explorations in the Ice Caves, Natural Bridges, and Smokey Creek CCC Camp.

Ward, Matthew and Cristiano take a break after numerous circuits of the cave - down the stairs, through the cave, up out the hole, and back over to the main entrance stairs.

Scouts hang out on one of the Natural Bridges - partially collapsed lava tubes that look like natural arched bridges.
