It was a confusion kind of hike today, but we all gathered at Holly Springs Mart off Hwy 11 and junction 176. Twenty of us asssembled and headed further up Hwy 11 approximately 9 miles to Hwy 8 then veered on 276 for approximately 1.7 miles to Asburn Hill Camp. This is a private Methodist Retreat for all - and known to be a great boys and girls summer camp. Today's hike lead us through a beautiful trail, mostly within hearing distance of water. An unexpected swarm of bees approached some of us on the trail. Our leader "Bill" was very allergic to bee strings...and was stung by 6 of the nasty varmint's. Bill had to return to base in case additional medical treatment was necessary. Most of us continued on....still several others had been stung, but not allergic to there venom.
Thristy or needing a shower! |
