Evan and Michael here. Today is Friday, we woke up a 6:00.
We ate and packed up camp. We started our day at Joyce Killmer Memorial Forest
and hiked 2 miles there. We saw trees so tall and wide that some trees took 6
scouts to wrap around it. After that awesome hike we got on the road… and got
lost again. We were trying to get to the cave we were going to sleep in without
dragging all the cars and the trailer on the Tail of the Dragon- a dangerous
road. We ended up doing it though. At The Tail of the Dragon we saw lots of
exotic cars… stuck behind the uhaul and Big Blue. It was fun maneuvering the curves
and sliding side to side. It was also fun watching Big Blue rumble through all
318 curves to. Congrats to Mr. G four successfully navigating the Tail of the
dragon… while hauling a u haul. When we got to the cave we changed into our
cave cloths and met our guides. We drug all of our camping gear into the cave
and got started. We were doing a high adventure tour through tight places in
the cave. Each tight spot was called a crawl. The crawls were rated 1-5 5 being
the hardest we did a 1 a 2 a 3 and two class 5s luckily none of us got stuck to
bad and we all got out of the crawls. We slept in the cave and it felt very
nice in there.
Saturday
We had wake up call at 6:15 today. We then packed and drove
to Hardee’s for breakfast I personally (Evan here) had a sausage biscuit with
hash browns. I slept most of the way, but woke up at the rest stop. When we got
to the scout house we unpacked the trailer and Mr. G got a T- shirt saying he
drove across the Tail of the Dragon with the trailer. That is the end of this
2014 summer trip.
Where will 2015 take us?
