The Pok-o Patch

On Saturday after dinner, Luke presented the group and Joe with their Pok-o Patches.  The Pok-o Patch is a specific honor created for "campers" at Pok-o-MacCready.

There are four peaks to be summitted to earn the Patch.  That meant four hikes (and an overnight) for the group.  The first was Bare Mountain, on Saturday evening.  The second was Rattlesnake Mountain on Sunday.  The third was the summit of Pok-o-Moonshine, the morning after our overnight stay 0.3 miles below the peak.  The fourth and final mountain was Sugar Loaf, on Thursday afternoon.

All four peaks required the use of snowshoes, and some were more difficult than others to summit.

Bare Mountain:  1198'
Rattlesnake Mountain:  1285'
Sugar Loaf Mountain: 1467'
Pok-o-Moonshine: 2293'

As a part of the presentation of the patches, Luke had the group repeat the Pok-o Pledge.

Congratulations, climbers!
