Our Adventurous Trip to Lytle Creek!



This weekend Troop 256 enjoyed a trip to Lytle Creek.

After leaving the church around 3:30 and enduring 2 1/2 hours of traffic, we arrived to our destination, Applewhite campground.



We were very excited when we saw how cool the campsites were. We chose the one that was closest to the base of the mountain, and furthest away from everyone else.

Friday night was a blast! It consisted mainly of setting up camp, making dinner (those who actually brought dinner to make), roasting mallows, telling jokes and ghost stories (the haunting tales of faceless Tony was my favorite), and pretty much just enjoying each other's company.

Saturday was equally as awesome! Here are snapshots of the boys enjoying the campsite:





After making breakfast and packing up, we headed over to the Bonita Falls trail. It was a short hike, only about a mile, but the scenery was amazing and the terrain was very fun to walk on.








The highlight of the hike was definitely arriving to Bonita Falls, and being surprised at how big and beautiful it actually was.


We hung out around the falls for about 30 minutes, it was a lot of fun!







From here we hiked back to the cars and drove home... it was a good trip!
