We had another great Youngers trip this past week­end. We night-​​hiked with head­lamps down the Bushy Ridge Trail (one mile and flat) into Linville Gorge Fri­day night and set up our base camp near Bull Branch. From there, on Sat­ur­day morn­ing, we hiked all the way over to Linville Falls where we ate lunch, dipped and rested. Back to camp Sat­ur­day after­noon to take it down and pack up for the hike back to the bus. The round trip hike to the falls was chal­leng­ing, but every­one made it. Every­one agreed that the effort was worth it to see Linville Falls from the bot­tom. Wait ‘til you see the pic­tures at the Annual Recog­ni­tion Dinner.

We made it! Eleven peo­ple for eight days cov­ere­ing 170 miles from Cam­den, S.C. to Hwy. 41 and every­one had a fan­tas­tic time.

Expe­di­tion mem­bers were Olivia Gage (TAASC graduate/​Medical school stu­dent), Monika Lesch (TAASC gym owner and mom of two past grad­u­ates, Nathaniel and Zachary), Will Wil­son, Luke “Thun­der­bird” Carlisle (age 10!), Molly Franklin, Cas­sidy Mull, Lau­rin Jen­nings, Cody Mem­mel, Jacob Ciof­fo­letti, Livy Franklin and Mike Fischesser.

At the Recog­ni­tion Din­ner we col­lected $1,300 in pledges toward colon can­cer research. Our goal was $3,000. It is time to send in the amount you pledged.
