Roger and Jake were able to go on an amazing High Adventure Boy Scout. They went and hiked the Skyline to Sea trail near San Fransisco and loved it. The rest of the journaling is done by Roger.
The end in sight - but nothing was as close as it looked.
You can see there is a long distance between 16 and 40!
(me and Jake)
What is that? - Just add water and boil - its dinner.
Notice that it is nice and close to my bed.
How hard can this trail be - it should be all down hill.
Nope it's was down and up and down and up and down and up and down but I remember it being mostly up.
Thank goodness for the plentiful shade!
If you are tuff enough, like me, you are tuff enough to pull this sign right out of the ground and proud enough to take the sign home as proof. (not really)
By day three - I needed that bath so bad I did not even strip to my underwear. Once they all saw me splash in it did not take long for the rest to join in.
Photo Opportunity.
This spot sure looked like a quiet restful place away from the crew - but not so!
Soon after dark - "Dad - What's that noise! Hear that. It's getting closer! It's over hear. It's over there. It's circling us. There is more than one of them. It's must be just raccoons. That ain't no raccoon! No it ain't! Must be a bear. Get! That is close. It stopped. No it did not. Whatever it is, it is not afraid of us. Shine the light. It ain't afraid of the light. It ain't afraid of us. It's a family of Sasquatch. Listen they are moving all around. Well whatever is out there, if it was going to get us, it would have done so long ago by now. If it wants to eat me I'm too tired to put fight or run. Might as well sleep."
Is it morning already?
The next morning we went looking for track and found that we had been sleeping in a deer thicket - lots of deer! Also saw a squirrel bite though a pine cone like corn on the cob. I'm going to watch out for squirrels.
Photo Opportunity.
Break time!
Jake had to carry my pack the last 100 yards through the parking lot.
