Yosemite. They went backpacking into an area where they camped near Lake Chittendon. Derek had a great time! He got quite a workout carrying a 40lb pack in and out(about 7 hours each way) He quickly learned that eating mostly hydrated foods sure made him hungry. But he just loved being out in the beautiful mountains and swimming in a crystal clear lake (with no chlorine!) During two days of camping the boys worked on merit badges, went on more hikes and did lots of swimming. Derek came home pretty tired, but he would love to go on a trip like this again with anyone who's interested!

Backpacking in beautiful country
Derek went with a group of Varsity Scouts to a wonderful part of the Sierra Nevadas south of
Yosemite. They went backpacking into an area where they camped near Lake Chittendon. Derek had a great time! He got quite a workout carrying a 40lb pack in and out(about 7 hours each way) He quickly learned that eating mostly hydrated foods sure made him hungry. But he just loved being out in the beautiful mountains and swimming in a crystal clear lake (with no chlorine!)
