(Saturday and Sunday) 9am- around 3pm. \nWhat: The project will consist of repainting the media room by first putting on primer and then white paint\, fixing cracks in the wall\, and replacing a light fixture. I would wear some clothes that you would’t mind getting dirty\, since we will be dealing with paint. \nWhere: The project will take place at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church which is located on 200 W Las Tunas Drive\, San Gabriel\, CA 91776. 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. Bring your check made out to BSA Troop 355 to the prior Troop Meeting/BBQ\, or mail or deliver to: \nKelly Moffat2280 Adair StreetSan Marino\, CA 91108 \nMEET: At Scout House at 6:30 AM on Saturday. We will divide troop gear and food\, then depart for the trailhead. The trip to the trailhead is about 45 minutes. We will return to the trailhead Sunday morning about midday and be home by 2:00 PM. \nMEALS: Eat a big breakfast on Saturday morning before the trip. Otherwise you may bonk! Bonking is not cool\, it hurts. Don’t bonk! Bring your own trail lunch Saturday\, dinner will be provided Saturday night (Philmont style)\, bring your own breakfast bars\, instant oatmeal\, cocoa for breakfast on Sunday. Saturday’s dinner will be prepared by individual crews. Crews will be announced before the trip by email. \nEQUIPMENT: Please review the troop backpacking checklist on the Resources page of the troop website to make sure you have all the gear you will need. The troop leaders are always available to discuss equipment – please contact any of them if you have questions about gear for the trip. \nSPECIAL NOTES: It might be cold (below 40) at night\, be prepared with long johns and a beanie hat to sleep in\, a good sleeping bag\, a jacket and gloves. Of course always bring your rain gear! Bring bug repellent. And…bring toilet paper. BE PREPARED. \nWATER: Everyone should carry 2-3 liters of water for the hike down to West Fork (either in plastic or nalgene bottles or a Camelbak style water bladder). We will be able get additional drinking and cooking water at camp – but it needs to be filtered\, so every tent should have a water filter (you can borrow from another scout or dad if you don’t have a filter). \nDirections to the Red Box Trailhead: There is a large parking lot at the trailhead. However\, it is always a good idea to carpool. Fill your car up with Scouts and backpacks. Take the 210 west to the Angeles Crest Highway 2 north. Drive approximately 14 miles to the parking lot at Red Box Station. Turn right onto Mount Wilson/Red Box Road\, then immediately right or left into one of the two parking areas on either side of the road – the left (east) parking lot is closest to our trailhead. Any cars parking will need a National Forest Adventure Pass available at your sporting goods store or REI – hang your Adventure Pass on your rear view mirror.

WE WILL DO AN ECHO HIKE AGAIN SOON – PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THE CALENDAR AND THE TROOP EMAILS. \nCome on out and hike with the troop on Super Bowl Sunday – we will be hiking up Echo Mountain. This is the classic Troop 355 training hike – the trail rises over 1300 feet on its way to the Echo Mountain ruins. The total hike distance is 5.2 miles round trip. This will be a great way to get some activity in before you sit on the couch all afternoon. This hike will also be a great start to our hiking season and our many activities – you can get in a warm up hike before the West Fork Backpack Trip\, kick off your Hiking MB hikes\, start off the Philmont Training\, or just come out to hike and have a great time. This hike will also satisfy the Second Class five mile hike requirement\, so if you have not had the chance to get this signoff yet\, this would be a great opportunity to do so. We will orient our maps and use them to navigate on this hike. And we will spend a bit of time at the top exploring the hotel and railway ruins. \nWe will meet at 6:15 a.m. sharp\, at the top of Lake Avenue in Altadena\, where Lake meets Loma Alta – meet by the stone gate on the northeast side of the intersection. The early morning is the best time to do this hike – this trail gets extremely crowded on weekends\, and also can be very hot\, so by going early we can avoid these problems and still have most of our day left after the hike. We should return to the trailhead between 9:30 and 10 a.m. \nBring a daypack with your 10 essentials (most importantly 1 to 2 liters of water)\, plus your Scout Handbook if you wish to obtain any signoffs. Note that it will still be a bit dark when you arrive\, but it will be light enough to see by the time we start hiking – you will not need a headlamp. It will likely be cold when we are gathering before the hike\, so bring an extra layer\, but you will warm up quickly after we start hiking.

They have a safety line on at all times with little to no slack. \nQ: Can Dads climb?A: Yes\, dads can climb in the half day option. Priority for the limited spaces will go to the Scouts.
