At Camp Buffalo Bill, three scouts (Ian C., Evan F., and Charlie P.) and two adults (Jon Traum and I) will be undertaking a 50-Mile backpacking trip. We’ve been getting in shape individually, and as a group we started first with an overnight 8-miler at Round Valley Regional Preserve in the East Bay Area, dodging a few rattlers along the way.
On June 9, we day-hiked 10 miles at lake Folsom. For Father’s Day weekend, we’ve planned a 3-day backpack trip in the Sierras from Wright’s Lake up to Twin Lakes. We hope to get any last kinks out of our gear and legs on that trip. Finally, regarding safety, Jon spent two days in training to renew his Wilderness First Aid card (let’s all remember to thank him for that). We’ll have plenty of pictures of the 50-miler trip at the next court of honor.
