The Woofers trip to Stone Mountain was not only a great trip to the mountains, but it was also an experiment in increasing the Troop's weekend operational range. To get to Stone Mountain before the gate closed, the boys loaded the bus on Thursday evening, arrived earlier than usual Friday afternoon, and made the three-hour drive to Stone Mountain in time to set up camp before dark. And as these pictures will show, the trip was worth the extra effort. |

| The boys rode the trusty Troop 412 bus to the trail head, where they laid out careful plans for their day hike. | |

| The boys enjoyed a spectacular hike over the top of Stone Mountain... |  |
 |
...although some groups were slower than others. |
| One of the scenic rewards of the hike was the view of the falls from this vantage point. It was from near here that we could see the falls shown at the top of the page. |

| Any good hike warrants a good rest! | ||

The highlight of the trip was sliding rock. The boys donned plastic bags and slid to their hearts content! |  |
