10 Mile Hike for Hiking Merit Badge

I had a scout last week ask me if I could do a 10 mile hike with him for his Hiking Merit Badge.  He has the 20 mile hike done, and 3 of the 10 mile hikes done, so we only need to do 2 more.  I told him I would have time Saturday morning from 5:30AM to 11:00AM before a family reunion, thinking he might not want to get up that early on a Saturday, but he said that sounded good to him!  So I was able to get another scout leader to join us, and we met at my house at 5:30 am, and drove to the trailhead an hiked 10 miles in 3 hours!  We were done way before 11, but really got to enjoy the sunrise, and quiet serenity of the mountains in the early morning.
I really enjoyed it!
