Advanced Backpack to Dobb's Cabin
Troop 107 was again trekking
through the San Gorgonio Wilderness the weekend of August
13-14. 13 scouts and 6 adult leaders traveled the Momyer
trail, climbing 1800 feet in elevation over nearly 6 miles
to reach Dobbs Cabin campsite. This was an intermediate
level backpack trip and the difficulty compared to recent
beginner level trips was readily apparent. All three patrols
planned good, relatively ambitious menus, some perhaps a bit
weighty for a backpack trip. The Leadership patrol wins the
Golden Spoon award for overall superiority in planning and
execution (including clean-up). The trail was quite
challenging, both uphill and down, and every scout and
scouter who completed the trip should feel some justifiable
pride in his accomplishment.
