Mt. Leconte/Sleeping with the Sharks

Troop 8 spent a beautiful autumn weekend in the Smoky Mountains.  The pictures don't do the changing leaves justice, but the views from Mt. Leconte up the Alum Cave trail were incredible.  After a bear demonstration by a park ranger, the perfect way to end the trip was to encounter our very own black bear.  What a trip!

Our Scouts spent a night under the shark tank at the Aquarium of the Smokies.  Shown, our youngest Scouts react to a Megalodon's jaws, while our older Scouts dissect a squid.
