Redline Guide Debra McCown as shown here creating memories with her T. rex costume. Fun!
oming to us by way of the
Hiking Buddies non-profit, we provided navigational and general oversight for a Scouting group hike. The general plan was to meet the young ladies and their leaders at the
AMC’s Lonesome Lake Hut just after breakfast. From there we would lead them to the
Kinsman Ridge Trail by way of the
Fishin’ Jimmy Trail and then make our way south with the hopes of snagging both
Mt Kinsman peaks:
North and South, 4274′ and 4356′, respectively. Plan A was north peak only and by the time they arrived, the team felt that the south peak would be there on another day (which is a widely-held understanding among hikers). This made the whole rest of the day more relaxed. They only need to enjoy what they surely earned and make it back to the hut safely. Assisting this team was
Redline Guide Debra McCown.
We had such an amazing experience! [Our guide] Debra was awesome! The girls had a blast! Best first adventure ever! Thank you all so much for supporting us! The girls had a blast… and they want to go again! She made it an amazing adventure and they got such a kick out of her! We will be budgeting you and T. rex [Debra brought a T. rex costume with her for this] into our upcoming hikes! I really can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you all did to help make this happen! Have a banner day! —Scout Leader
Great job one and all. The girls, the leaders, our guide, and of course Tyrannosaurus rex.
