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.
