Excitement is building in my household as final arrangements are being made for Marty to go to the 2013 Jamboree. One of the adventure areas he will have access to is "The Ropes". The Ropes has taken challenge courses to a whole new level for the jamboree. The Ropes is a network of zip lines, balance beams, cargo nets and other challenges — all suspended 25 feet above the ground. The Scouts will be harnessed up and clipped in for this obstacle-course-in-the-air.
Our destination was Dilleys Mill or Buckskin Scout Reservation. Dilleys Mill is located in the heart of Appalachia and sits on 2000 acres that borders the Greenbrier River, Seneca State Forest, and National Forrest land. The Allegheny Trail crosses the property along with other hiking trails, and a 17 acre lake, Lake Sam Hill, sits in the middle of camp.
