Backpacking Trip - Walls of Jericho


November 14th - 15th, 2009 I took a backpacking trip with Troop 624 to The Walls of Jericho a recreational area that sits on the border of Tennessee and Alabama. We cooked a lot of freeze dried food as well as normal food like what we had, Kraft Shells and Cheese and chicken, which I cooked.
We hiked from the Tennessee trail head down to a campsite. Set up camp, then hiked out to the "Walls". Where we saw a waterfall and got to climb down into a pit that the falls had carved and then flowed under the rock.


We tried to pick up a rock...But one guy got crushed....
Just kidding.
