As the loud crack of splintering rock rang through the air‚ I felt a sharp tinge of pain in my arms caused by my many hours of laborious work. Thoughts of pride‚ community‚ and accomplishment are spinning through my head. This is the culmination of my Boy Scout career. I thought back to the beginning of the week when this all started. Two friends and I climbed out of a car‚ stretching our legs and gathering our luggage. It

Kokoda Track Terrain The Kokoda Trail or Track is a single-file foot thoroughfare that runs 96 kilometres overland — 60 kilometres in a straight line — through the Owen Stanley Range in Papua New Guinea. It was initially a series of interconnecting small trails used as a mail route to supply settlements around Kokoda.
