We had originally planned a hike near Winchester, VA, but opted for the C&O Canal because of predicted snow. As you can see from the pictures, it was a good choice. It was a small group but everyone had a great time and three Scouts got credit for the Second Class five mile hike requirement.

The ducks love days like this!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
