On September 9, 2006, my dad and I did a 20 mile hike at False Cape State Park / Back Bay Wildlife Refuge.  When we started, we had to hike 5 miles in loose sand.  We saw a huge dead sea turtle with its head off and a few blue hardhats.  Also, some horseshoe crab shells.  Then when we got to the ranger station, we ate lunch.  After lunch, we hit the trail which was 10 miles down and back.  Some parts of the trail were infested with mosquitoes. There were a lot of bikers.  Then we stopped at the ranger station again and we ran into Troop 10.  After our break, we had to go 6 more miles to hike to finish.  It was the longest 6 miles of my life.  But we did it and I finished my hiking merit badge.
