Thanks John Morgan!

for leading a hike to Hodge Pond & site of the former Beech Mountain Scout Camp.

Hikers enjoying a picnic lunch at the site of the Beech Mountain camp mess hall.

Eagle Scout John Morgan was a youth staff member at the camp in the early 1960"s.

Except for a few tumbled-down cabins, all that remain of the camp is the beautiful scenery.

The entire camp property is now part of the Willowemoc Wild Forest.
