Backpackers will hike from Agnew Meadow, Mammoth to Curry Village, Yosemite. There will be a supply group joining the backpackers on Friday night at Cloud's Rest, Yosemite and camp with them. On Saturday, the hikers will climb half dome and descend to the valley floor, stay at the condo Sat night and drive back Sunday. It requires two groups of drivers to sign up. Regular backpacking drivers will leave their cars up there and drive the troop back to Irvine when the trip finishes. Shuttle drivers will help drive the regular drivers' cars to the exit point.
The troop ran into bad weather and had turned back. They will be back at Mr. A's condo. We have canceled the Half-Dome part of the backpack, it will have to be the next Sierra trip.
Scouts worked on Hiking/Backpacking merit badges at Mr. A's condo. They will visit and tour around Bodie (the famous ghost town in the state park). They will head over to White Mountain (Big Pine, but is north east of Bigshop) and camp there. They will attack the peak at 14,252ft. It's the 3rd highest peak in California and the highest outside of Sierra Nevada.
The troop is going to return home Friday from White Mountain.Click Here To Sign Up
