Next was 4L, ona mission to find the most agates in the creek andfinally 4P, who managed to get through two daysof perfect weather before tackling the obstaclecourse in pouring rain on the final day.The boys spent the days climbing ropes, hiking,exploring the creek for the elusive agates, tacklingtreasure hunts and building leadership and teamwork skills.
