Thtumiav, June 19, 1930 TROOP " ON EXPLORATION HIKE Ten loyal scouts of Troop 33 com- pleted an “Exploration Hike" start- ing from Lake Forest along the lake. The weather was fine in every re- spect to travel over this new ground. Scouts are always developing some- thing new and this time it was what may be called "kissed by the lake." During a rest period the outer end of a breakwhter was filled with scouts lying on their stomachs with their heads over the end in order to watch the waves. Most of the waves could not reach the top of the breakwater. The trick was to jump back when a big wave came along but every scout was caught and kissed good by the waves. I suspect they wanted it to happen for the day was warm and the cool water was refreshing. At the next stop most of the scouts de- cided to battle the waves as a swim. ming period.

A pile driver at Work with men‘using an acetylene blow torch was the next attraction. The lake beach is more rocky farther north, but for some distance along Shore Acres the waves are cutting the very base of the cliff. It was fun to watch for a chance to run the gauntlet here' and not get caught by the waves. Here the cliffs are bare and freshly exposed by the slumping‘ of the clay. In some places where sand pockets and sand layer appear the swallows have dug out their cliff dwellings. Allen. Benson and Rod- eric Smith adventurously climbed the steep cliff to view the nests but they were too well hidden by the turns in the caverns. The new hangar at Great Lakes were inspected. Arrival at Foss Park at six ready for eats the final stage of the journey. Mr. and Mrs. Rasmussen were present to dine with the troop. After an hours enjoyment of the park attrac- tions all scouts were packed in the family cars of Messrs. Austin and Rasmussen for the homeward jour- ney. It was a tine hike.--Ttoop Re- porter.
