I try to keep my involvement with the Boy Scouts to a minimum, the Supreme Court may have given them the right to be bigots, but it doesn’t mean that being a bigot is the right thing, so I don’t take an active role in the organization.<\/p>\n
Basically I won’t ever do anything that would have me donning one of their insignia. <\/p>\n
In any case, the hike was was three miles down the path that was once the NCR (North Central Railroad) line.<\/p>\n
It’s ind of a pity to see rail lines torn up.<\/p>\n

At the end, there was a little sweet\/coffee shop, and we had coffee (adults) and hot cocoa (kids), along with a sweet snack.<\/p>\n
It was a nice afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
