Last Minute Reminders: 

First of all,  a representative from each ward will need to come pick up food for the priesthood encampment.  The meals will be prepared and ready to go.   Come pick up your food for your ward at the Fruitland Building on Thursday, June 15 @ 7pm.

We had a couple people go up and scout the trail this weekend.   Some important things to remember as the boys are getting packed and ready to go.

1. The trail will be wet & muddy!  Be prepared for these scenarios with the proper shoes.  It will be a good idea as well to have a set of shoes to cross creeks and streams to not get your hiking shoes wet.   Most likely we will run into snow at higher elevations.  Bringing plastic bags as a liner to prevent socks and feet from getting wet may be a great idea.  Protecting your feet will be a must for this hike.  Leaders please help and prepare your boys for these elements
2. It will get chilly,  please make sure you have the appropriate sleeping gear for cold temperatures.   It got down to 32 degrees last week where we are going, so plan accordingly for these elements. 
3. Leaders help your boys with packing,  make sure their backs are not too heavy for their size. Of course lighter is better but the pack should be no more than 20-25% of body weight.   The meals that have been prepared for the week are around 8 lbs so if you check bags before you receive the food, you have a good idea where your boys are at.   
4. There will be opportunities for fishing for those that would want to bring along their fishing poles.  

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate contacting someone on the committee to clarify.
