Windham Boy Scout Troop 805 hiked 50
miles on the Appalachian Trail at the beginning of August. They started at
Nahmakanta Lake and finished with the ascent of Katahdin Mountain. Ten boys and
six adults made the five day trek, where they lived out of the backpacks they
carried, some weighing as much as 40 pounds.
“I was very proud of these boys. We had
a memorable hike,” Scoutmaster Chuck Libby said. Kudos to Russ Shoberg for his
planning of the hike and all of the parents who participated, Libby added.
For some of the boys and adults, this
hike completed their goal of completing the entire 100 mile wilderness known to
be one of the most difficult parts of the Appalachian Trail because of its
remoteness.
Adults on the trip were: Chuck Libby,
Russ Shoberg, Paul Preston, Rob Hatch, Paul Dube and Roy Watson.
Boy Scouts were: Josh Libby, Dean
Preston, Francis Watson, Reese Preston, Aidan Hatch, Jaren Preston, Tucker
Labbe, Clay Hatch and Owen Watson.
