Torrent Falls Rock Climbing Adventure and Natural Bridge State Park

Troop 402's
Adventures at Torrent Falls and Natural Bridge State Park
May 22, 2015 to May 24, 2015


We had a great time playing at Torrent Falls.   The weather was great, warm in the day and a nice chill of 50s at night for some great sleeping.  Everyone achieved their climbing goals and those who have been there before even tried a few new things.   I should point out that Nick B.  went around all 6 sections 3  times.   Yes he went thru 18 sections total for the day!  I don't know how he can move his arms and legs.  Once we returned back to camp,  Mr. Hoffman welcomed us with some homemade cookies and cream ice cream.  O-SO-GOOD...MMMM  followed by "brain freeze".   What a great treat to finish off the day.  On Sunday (actually both days) we had a nice early wake up call by the whip-poor-will.  I am not sure why this bird though it was a rooster, but both mornings for about 20 min straight, the whip-poor-will sang.  After we gave into the daylight and got up.  Had a quick breakfast then went for a hike up to the top of Natural Bridge State park.  We took the Original Trail, which was nice and empty at 7:30am and then crossed the top checking out the views on the way to Lovers Leap and Devils Gulch for our exit down battleship rock trail.
