Complications Cut Boy Scout 50-Mile Hike Short on Hood Four scouts from Heppner Troop 661 hiked half-way around Mount Hood, on the Timberline Trail covering about 25 miles Thursday evening, Fri day and Saturday morning of last week. They carried their supplies for the trip in back packs of about 30 pounds each. Barney Marshall, Du a n e Steers, Jim Healy and Rob Ab rams with advisor Bob Abrams planned the hike for a 50-mile complete circuit of the mount ain, but were forced to come back to civilization when Ab rams began suffering from arth rities in a previously broken hip joint. Extreme heat and . a lengthy trail detour added to the diffi culty of the trip and played a part in the decision to stop at Tilly Jane Campground on the northeast slope of the mount ain. A camping family, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Zilk and children David and Janey of Portland, generously took Bob around the mountain to pick up his bus at Timberline Lodge, and he re turned to get the boys and drive back to Heppner. On Monday the four boys hiked down to Heppner from a point 25 miles out on the Coal Mine Hill road. This completed their 50 miles of hiking in the five days allowed. They were accompanied on this hike by Tim Smith of Heppner, a distance runner on last year's Heppner track team.
