We had 17 folks that camped although it was cold and windy. Some left early on day Two, but everyone got some climbing in.

What a fine looking crew!

The kids worked on learning to fit packs well, treat water, and some tried bivying out since we had such a pretty star filled evening. Temps were mild to warm and it is time to start remembering the sun hats and sunscreen! Thanks to everyone for coming out.T

We set up camp in a beautiful forest, ate lunch, then hiked across the top of the mountain to the climbing and rappelling area.         Lots of parents and Olders on the trip. Should be a great one!

We had a great time caving.

Twenty people total!

We backpacked in to the east side of the mountain today and found a delightful campsite near a beautiful creek. After pitching camp and eating lunch, we began a long, hard day hike up the side. We reached the top around 4:00pm, took a break, then started back to camp along a different route and arrived back to camp around dark. Everyone is tired, but doing well and staying warm.

After a warm 47 degree night, we are exploring some cool areas on the top. Everyone is having a great time!

Everyone is doing well as we trudge up the trail to the top. The 2000 forest fire is still very evident. At this rate it will be 100 years before the forest returns. On to the summit after lunch!

Despite the rain, everyone is having a good time. We are half way to camp and the rain has stopped for the time being. The views are really cool looking out over the clouds!
