To those going this weekend to Vertical Adventures – DO NOT FORGET….. You must go on line and complete the ONLINE WAIVER.

For those going on the campout this weekend: I noticed that the newsletter called us leaving at 6:30 but the permission slip stated 7:00 PM.  With that discrepancy I will hold off from leaving until 7PM [unless all are there earlier].  Sorry for the confusion.  We will camp in the Lake Hope State Park on Friday night and then hit the Zaleski Trail on Saturday morning. Just a few notes about this trip.       1.     We will be camping in tents (or a shelter you build). If you need a troop tent you should have already let me know that you need one.  Tarps too.  If you still need one PLEASE let me know asap.  If you have your own tent / tarp you may bring it on this outing. Plan accordingly.       2.     You need to bring your own food and gear to cook with.  If you need a stove then plan accordingly.  You can team up with others; just make sure to plan this out.  Your lunch should be a ...
