All of our preparations are finished. This weekend we will be at OKPIK enjoying winter camping. WE have a group of 11 going up to Ely, Minn. The training is complete. Everyone is excited. It is supposed to be sub zero! That’s why we go up there in January. It’s going to be great! Just wait for the photos.

Philmont 2018 Meeting 1
A great first meeting for planning for our 2018 Philmont trip. Lots of good information about the trip, transportation, explaining the cost and the trip itself. Went over all of the gear, needed, optional and crew.
Lots more to decide upon at meeting 2 such as scout leadership positions, t-shirt designs, the activity survey for the scouts to fill out and start looking at last years treks. Hopefully, they wont be making major changes to the treks for 2018.
It’s going to be another great trip!

OKPIK 2018
We’re excited. We have 11 scouts and scouters going to OKPIK in January. It will be another awesome trip!!!
Most of the planning is done.
OKPIK 2018
The High adventure fun just continues. We have entered the lottery for the 2018 OKPIK season. It’s been a few years since we’ve been there and it’s time to go back. People may not understand winter camping.
The best explaination of winter camping, is the goal is not to just survive, but thrive!
We should find out in about a month, if we have a crew going.
Philmont 2018
Oh yea!!! we received the email that we passed through the lottery and have a 12 day trek for 2018. It’s going to be another great adventure.
Not sure if I will be going on this trip or just helping to plan this time.
Looking forward to working Jamboree 2017, then we will see about what happens for 2018.
Hope you all have a great year!!!
Philmont 2016 trip report
It only took about 6 months, but I finally had time to get the day by day trip report posted. It was great to relive the trip through my daily journal.
Hopefully others enjoy it as much as I did. And maybe others on the same trek will find it helpful.
The report can be found here
