Kentucky Lincoln Trail Award with a certified trail map.
This was awarded to my father for his hike along the Lincoln Trail in Kentucky, back in the late '50's. The map of the trail has embossing from the beginning, middle, and end of the trail to verify that he stopped at those points.
He was the leader of our Explorer post at the time, and we left St. Louis in the middle of the night, with a car full of Scouts, to get to Elizabethtown KY the next morning and b...egin the hike. I was one of those boys and remember it like yesterday. The weather was hot, my feet were blistered, and I have to admit, I wasn't a happy camper at the time. But, our Post completed the journey, tired, hot, but gratified that we finished the challenge. Great memories.
Good luck with the bidding
