Cadets Scale Enchanted Rock

June 1, 2022

On Saturday, May 7th cadets from squadron 435 scaled Enchanted Rock near Fredricksburg, TX. There were four groups of cadets, each with a senior member, and two groups at a time would go up the hill. The other two groups would summit a smaller hill to the side. When both groups were on top of the hill, they would signal each other with signal mirrors. The cadets also signaled a CAP plane flying over (piloted by Capt. Mauricio Urquiola, the squadron commander) by making formations with our bodies. There were caves inside the rock, which we climbed inside. Overall, the main theme was search and rescue/emergency services.
