When Trent got home from scout camp, we washed all his stuff and sent him off again for the teacher's high adventure, for the boys ages 14-15. They hiked Mt. Adams, Washington's second highest peak, and then went white water rafting. Trent had a blast!
In preparation, the boys had to take ice axe lessons. Trent said the ice axe came in very handy and he used it a lot. The hike was one of the hardest he's ever done, but they were all proud they made it to the Summit! It took 2 days, and was long and steep.
DAY 2--woke up at 4 am to start out for the summit.
