Hello,

This backpacking trip will be a one night trek in the Pt Reyes National Seashore. We will be leaving Saturday morning from the Sycamore Park and Ride at 8 am, and expect to be on the trail between 10:30 and 11:00 am. Our hike will be seven miles each way, with some moderate altitude gain. We should arrive in our campsite early enough Saturday afternoon to take a side hike to the beach area of Pt Reyes to enjoy the scenic beauty of this great area! We will be backpacking out Sunday morning, and should be home by 3 pm. The trip home will include a quick stop for lunch.

This trek open to all scouts who have completed the Troop 805 Introduction to Backpacking outing, or an equivalent BSA backpacking trip of at least 6 miles round trip. Scouts who will be attending the summer 50 miler should consider this as a critical practice trek and make every effort to attend.

We will begin accepting permission slips beginning tomorrow night and ending the meeting of May 19th. Permission slips will be accepted on a “first come first served basis.”

Please contact either Mr Chan (925-548-6179) or myself by email, or at tomorrow nights meeting if you have any questions regarding the Pt Reyes outing.

Best regards,

Mr. Carstensen
