Nice Job DUG! It was hiking with scouts in the San Gabriels that gave me the hiking/backpacking bug. You are doing a great service for these boys. My father passed away before I was 2 and the two of the fathers from my scout troop are still mentors to me after 30+ years.
Also, I was trying to remember if there used to be a 50 miles in one hike requirement to get the hiking badge back in the 70's?
