$This was John & Patrick\'s \"brag-rag\" hike. A brag rag is a common sight in scouting circles. It is simply a piece of material upon which you sew the patches that you have earned. In our troop, Troop 93 in Fullerton, Ca., you have to earn the brag rag by bagging a peak over 10,000\' in elevation on a backpacking trip with at least one night.$

$We were entertained the entire way with awesome vistas that can only be found out here. It\'s tempting to want a cabin out here, but I know that I\'m only a visitor and must go back to my world for this world to remain the same. The creek is about a quarter mile past Fish Creek Camp and was still flowing enough for us to top off our Nalgenes and Platypuses.$

$Family isn\'t just something your born into its something you develop, nurture and coddle. This is the whole of us at Thunder Hole on Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park. Thunder Hole? Sounds like John after Jambalaya.$
