Pitt Spring 1989

Things were much simpler back in 1989. We could move the troop in two or three vehicles. The Pitt Spring Trail is in the George Washington National Forest. It runs inside the Massanutten range from Catherine Furnace (near Shenandoah) to Fridley Gap (near Camp Overlook).

Here's the Campsite at the Pond on the Pitt Spring Trail. If you look close you will see the pond behind the left green tent. The campout featured a mini-orienteering compass-hike (2nd Class #1b.)up to the Eastern Ridge of the Massanutten as Scouts worked on (2nd Class #5.)"signs of wildlife" and (1st Class #6.)"tree ID".

Byrd Knob

This event occurred in 1990. Leaving from the Massanutten Visitor's Center at New Market Gap we hiked up the ridge in the George Washington National Forest to the South Massanutten area. Byrd knob is located near the Channel 3 tower which is visible from I-81. The highlight of the event were the scenic rocks overlooking New Market.

A Scout is Clean

Back in 1989 we didn't have so many Eagle projects to work on. To gain service hours (and poison ivy) we picked up trash. Can you name this location?
