Troop 531, Today’s update for those going backpacking this weekend: I hope you are looking forward to our trip as much as the leaders are. Only 1 more day to prepare. Remember 4:45 tomorrow for shakedown if you can make it. It may be tough to get there at the start, especially for middle school Scouts. So don’t be afraid to show up a little later than 4:45. A couple of us will stay until 6 PM. Here are a couple links to the place we are going: http://www.ouachitamaps.com/McGee%20Creek.html – This gives lots of great info on McGee Creek NSRA. It also provides the ability to print off a trail map so your Scout can bring his own and work on his map reading skills. Very handy. http://www.travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.18039 - Contains general information about McGee Creek NSRA. http://www.exploretheozarksonline.com/activities/parksnature/stateparks/oklahoma/mcgeecreek/index.html - Contains general information on the McGee Creek State Park area. If anyone needs to borrow gear, please let us know quickly. Andy Hudson (andy.hudson@bankofamerica.com, 214-454-3780). Thanks, Andy |
