Scoutts Enjoy A Day Of Snow Fun With Troop 901
Troop 901 from Shafter spent a day in Tehachepi Mountains near Mount Abel 81 miles south of Shafter. A last minute change shifted plans to Granite Station then to Mount Abel where six to twelve inches of snow offered sledding and tobogganing. Scouters installed tire chains on icy roads and the group later warmed in a stone fireplace hut with hot chocolate and chili. Ninety boys? No, about nineteen scouts plus leaders traveled, with John Stockton as guest and Vernon Isaac in charge. They returned to Shafter by 5 p.m. and will attend the Court of Honor March 5 at Shafter High School auditorium.
