Troop 1 pauses in front of the old Tomahawk Lodge at Summit Base before climbing to the top of Mount Stephens early one summer morning in 1995. Man in the center with the staff in his hand is Assistant Scoutmaster Jim Hewitt. Troop 1 will be returning to Camp Read this summer and another attempt on Stephens, but the Tomahawk Lodge is now long gone, having succumbed to the effects of one too many Adirondack winters in 2001.
