For the first hike on our new family adventure, Rich, Diane, Jack, Ally, and Maggie decided to climb Buck Mountain after dropping Sean off to camp with Zach. The day was very warm and muggy, with a threat of rain, but the Doppler said the storm was moving away. Ally complained vigorously the entire time, but Jack and Maggie marched along reasonably happily. Once we neared the peak, Maggie started to grow concerned about the clouds coming in from the West.
Once we reached the summit, Maggie and Ally were very happy with their success. After taking a few pictures, we started our descent. Once the thunder started, we learned very quickly that Maggie has a huge phobia of thunder and lightening. I don't think she'll ever climb a mountain again. Jack had a great experience; I think he is hooked.
