Leanto Challenge History



A little History. A few years ago, Laurie's Grandchildren were exploring the contents of a set of drawers in our guest bedroom. They happened on the Catskill Hundred Highest Patches and the Views and Brews Patches we had stored there. When they asked what the patches were for, we explained that we had a club, and you had to do certain things to join the club, then you got the Patch. "You mean you created your own club?!", they asked. Yes, we did, so they wanted to create a club as well. Laurie suggested visiting leantos, and we started discussing what the requirements for membership should be. We came up with the above list, and just by a wild coincidence, the children had already met all the requirements! ;-)  So the club was born, and thanks to a good friend, Stephaine Howes, we have patches. We slowly spread the concept to our friends, and eventually it hit 'Hiking for Patches', on Facebook, when we decided we needed an Internet presence. So, here we are.
