We leave on July 23. I'm getting pretty excited! We just did a two night practice hike in the Black River State Forest in western Wisconsin. The boys did pretty well. It's finally starting to feel real. We're doing itinerary 22. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences to share?…
I'm hoping there are still some who are reading this group! We will be heading out there in late July. Getting in shape for high adventure trips with my sons was one of my original motivations for losing weight 2.5 years ago. The max weight for my height was my initial weight loss goal, and I'm happily well below that now.…
But I can't make this trek due to work. I'll try to do an Autumn Adventure in 2014 and maybe a Kanik in 2015.
I will be going with my son/crew for the first time this year. I have a lot of weight loss and fitness work to do. I'm down 42 lbs, have 18 more to lose to meet guideline and 40 more to lose to meet my personal goal. Any advice or encouragement out there?
I am heading to Philmont for the first time. I have lost 11# and have a bunch to go but I am excited!! Chad, Varsity Coach Circle 10
My daughter and I get to drive out to Philmont for the weekend. We have a friend who is teaching a class at the PTC so we said we would tag along for the ride. I'll only get to stay one night (at the St. James) but it will still be Epic.
Well our troop got its 3rd place selection - trek 15 (rock climbing) - OUCH! Need to not only loose weight but work on getting some upper body strength! Happy about going with my son's troop but nervous and motivated to meet my goals so Philmont is enjoyable and not painful! Never been but so happy i am going!
I have this pic on my desktop at work. This is me (left) in 1998. 210lbs. I had just finished a 100 mile backpack at Philmont Scout Ranch in the San DeChristo Mts. The man standing to my right is my good friend **** Austin. The meeting was quite by chance; neither of us knew the other would be at the Ranch that year. The…
Or any other Hight Adventure base and when?
