Mount Marcy

Troop 540,

We are planning a hike up Mount Marcy from July 10th -12th. This hike is approximately 16 miles long. Two years ago, Mr. Walker and Mr. Shea did the hike with some of the older scouts.

If you are interested in going on this trip, you will have to be able to physically hike the 16 miles in one day. There will be no turning back once we start. You would need to be able to do the entire trip. I STRONGLY urge those that are interested, to either be in really good physical shape and/or an older scout. We would arrive on Friday, July 10th, at a loft at the base of the mountain, hike all day Saturday and leave to go home on Sunday, July 12th. The cost for the loft, per person is $108.00. This includes a bed for two nights and breakfast for two days. You would have to pay for the remaining meals. There are 5 spots available for this trip. The first 5 people to hand me a check, made out to Troop 540 for $108.00 will go on the trip. Here’s the list of people going on the trip so far:

  1. Mr. Shea
  2. Mike Shea
  3. Mr. Hess
  4. Christian Hess
  5. Alex Hess
  6. Mr. Ellis
  7. Mack Ellis

Again, I will accept the first five scouts that hand me a check. I will NOT count a verbal reply as a commitment. You will need to hand me a check by next week. We need to book this trip ASAP.

Sincerely,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
