Move 'em out

Boy Scouts of Gulf Breeze Troop 417 hiked into the Grand Canyon over spring break, carrying their own food, water and camping gear. Pictured from left to right in the front row are Jacob Harris, "Lucky" Wallace and Tyler Fisher; pictured in the middle row are Bill Fisher, Peter Hahn, Danny Gifford, Austin Wallace, Cody Meadows and Keenan Harris; in the back row are Blake Edwards and Rick Edwards. While many of us spent our spring break following March Madness, seven Boy Scouts from Troop 417 followed a path to adventure backpacking into the Grand Canyon. During a 4-day 35 mile trek, the boys hiked narrow, rocky trails threading across canyon rims and sheer cliffs, all while packing 30 pounds apiece of food, water, and camping gear.
