Old Rag Trip 2023
On Saturday April 15th, the troop will take a 10+ mile hike to the top of Old Rag Mountain. We'll have lunch at the top of the mountain and camp near the Fire Road.
Going to Old Rag is almost like going back in time. The mountain is made primarily of "Old Rag Granite", which is a billion years old. There's also intrusive basalt, which is a mere half billion years old. Who knows, there may be strange rock formations, ruins from the distant past, plants and animals unknown to modern science, stray dinosaurs. You just never know.
