====== Night Hike ======

//This is a great meeting to do around the Winter Solstice, when it gets dark early. You can also do this as an all-section meeting, since the activity is appropriate for a wide variety of ages (and the older kids need to get night hikes in too for their own badges). You can start your hike at 5 pm and be done by 6:30 or so, which is good timing for Otters.//
