This is a church that I have been attending since birth and I thought that it would be great to give back to this church since they have helped me. \nThe project will begin at 9am and end around 3pm. If we manage to get everything done on the first day\, then the second day (Sunday) may be cancelled. Lunch will be provided and I hope I can see you all there. \nIf you can make it\, please let me know by responding to this email\, or call me on my cell at 626-537-8506 so that I can get a head count.

DESCRIPTION:Do to adverse weather conditions\, we will need to postpone this trip until later in the spring. Check the troop emails for the announcement of the rescheduled trip dates. \nTROOP 355 SPRING BACKPACK TRIPANGELES NATIONAL FORESTWEST FORK TRAIL CAMP \nWHEN: Saturday\, February 9 and Sunday February 10\, 2019 \nWHERE: Red Box Ranger Station to the West Fork Trail Camp along the Gabrielino Trail in the Angeles National Forest. For most of the hike we will be following the west fork of the San Gabriel River. West Fork Trail Camp is located at the junction of two classic trails – the Gabrielino Trail and the Silver Moccasin Trail. \nDIFFICULTY: The hike is 5.3 miles each way. We will hike almost all downhill on Saturday – there is a total elevation loss of about 2000 feet from Red Box to West Fork. On Sunday\, we will hike back up the 2000 vertical feet to Red Box – you will definitely earn those root beers! \nAVAILABILITY: This is an intermediate backpack trip\, but on the advanced side of intermediate. We will take it fairly slow\, but this will be significantly more difficult than our recent Cooper Canyon trip. This trip is not recommended for first time backpackers – instead\, we would recommend that you join us on our introductory backpack trip next fall. \nCOST: $10 per person. Deadline to confirm your spot is Monday\, February 4.

On Sunday\, we will hike back up the 2000 vertical feet to Red Box – you will definitely earn those root beers! \nAVAILABILITY: This is an intermediate backpack trip\, but on the advanced side of intermediate.
