Camp Geiger - Happy Trails Pt. 1

If there's one truth to navigating Camp Geiger, it's that wherever you're going, you can sure there will be a hill involved. Not a slope. Not a gentle rise. A hill bordering on elevation change. The entire camp is built on a serious of tall ridges and in the valleys in between. It's that topography that has us walking 7-10 miles a day up and down, up and down, over, across and up and down. While there is a narrow, main road, we're not really allowed on it for safety reasons. Tradition mandates we take one of the many trails that traverse every inch of the camp.

One of the main trails we take to and from the dining hall is the Chieftain White Sand trail named after a former Chieftain of Mic-O-Say. Best we can figure, the walk is about half a mile from the Trading Post to the Dining Hall. Which means it's half a mile back. Three meals a day? You can see how the miles stack up. But this isn't a complaint. For the most part, they are calm, beautiful, relaxing miles. And good for us.

For those who will never have the pleasure, here's a glimpse of the Chieftain White Sand Trail. Half way though I caught up with Mr. Koonce and Mr. Kay.
