Our grandson who will be 17 Sept. 11, will be spending two weeks at Denali NP next month. Actually only 12 days backpacking with Boy Scouts from his Council. They get to plan their own trip with some help from a Scout Adventure Group. While he loves traveling in the Winnie, this is his real love.
He was supposed to go to Philmont in New Mexico but a fire closed the camp. He hopes to go next summer with the Order of the Arrow and help rebuild trails, buildings and other things damaged by the fire. All that will be backpacking, including picks and shovels.
Gotta love the young!
